There are many ways to create your habit tracker. It can be as minimal as you want or you can get really creative with it!
Below I will show you how to create your habit tracker and some beautiful bullet journal habit tracker spreads… Plus 74 ideas of habits you can start tracking today
What Is A Bullet Journal Habit Tracker?
A bullet journal habit tracker allows you to track habits that you want to achieve.
By creating a habit tracker spread in your bullet journal you can select what habits you want to track and check them off when you accomplish them.
So if you want to read for 20 minutes a day you could color in a box each day that you read.
This will allow you to see how many days you were able to read and if you need to adjust anything.
You can track your habits on a daily basis, weekly or monthly.
You can also use a habit tracker to help you stop doing something that you don’t want to do.
Why Have A Habit Tracker In Your Bullet Journal
I think one of my favorite things about bullet journaling is that it allows you to be more mindful of what you are doing with your time.
Having a habit tracker in your bullet journal is a great way to accomplish this.
Here are some reasons why you should try habit tracking…
- Help you build good habits: If you want to start working out, drinking more water or sleeping better. Having a habit tracker will allow you to keep yourself accountable.
- Help you stay motivated: I love coloring in all those little boxes and seeing how far I have come.
- See what works for you: Maybe you notice that you are more productive on certain days or that you feel happier when you sleep more.
- Help you break bad habits: By tracking habits you may want to stop you can see how many times you are doing them.
- Help you appreciate the little things: Sometimes we forget all the things we do throughout the day.
- Having a habit tracker can show you all you have accomplished.
You don’t have to check off all of your habits. Just focus on creating positive habits that you enjoy.

How To Make A Bullet Journal Habit Tracker
Making a habit tracker in your bullet journal is super simple. There’s no need to buy any extra supplies or be good at drawing.
Just grab your bullet journal, pen and some habits you want to track.
Step 1: Pick Habits To Track
Think about what you want to work on in your life.
You may want to start waking up earlier, practice more self care or hit your fitness goals.
I recommend starting with 3-5 habits when you first start tracking. You can always add more habits next month.
Step 2: How Often Do You Want To Track Your Habits
Decide if you want to track your habits daily, weekly or monthly.
Monthly habit trackers are nice if you want to track your habits for the whole month. Weekly habit trackers are also cute if you want to track for a shorter period of time.
You can mix and match trackers for your habits as well.
So maybe you want to use a daily habit tracker to drink water and a weekly habit tracker to exercise 3x a week.
Step 3: Pick A Layout For Your Habit Tracker
This is where you can get creative!
There are so many layouts to choose from. Grids, mini calendars, circles and more elaborate layouts.
Pick one that will fit the amount of habits you are tracking and how much space you have in your bullet journal.
Minimalist habit trackers are perfect if you don’t have much time. Or you can find a habit tracker template or printable habit trackers to use in your journal.
Step 4: Complete Your Habit Tracker
After you make your habit tracker just fill it out as you complete your habits.
Make it a habit to fill out your tracker at the end of your day.
Color in squares, add small icons or just check them off.
Step 5: Evaluate Your Habits
At the end of your week or month look back on your habit tracker.
What habits did you stick to? Did you forget to do certain habits?
Evaluate what you want to continue tracking next month.
Don’t stress about the blanks in your habit tracker! It’s meant to be a tool for you not another task on your list.
Bullet Journal Habit Tracker Pages Inspo
There are many different layouts for your bullet journal habit tracker that you can try. Some are very basic while others are more decorative.
No matter what style you like these ideas should help you come up with some inspiration for your bullet journal to keep track of your different habits.
Monthly Habit Tracker
This is a great monthly tracker if you have many habits that you want to track.
There is a line for each of your monthly habits and then a box for each day of the month. You can color in each box when you complete that habit for the day.
I really like how they used different colors for each habit. It makes it easier to keep track of all your habits. This would be a good layout to use if you want to track things like reading, meditating, working out and doing your morning routine.
Weekly Habit Tracker
Maybe you don’t want to track your habits for an entire month. A weekly habit tracker may be a better option for you.
This habit tracker has lines for each day of the week and spaces to track habits on a weekly basis… Such as reading, drinking water, working out and meditating.
I think this is so pretty with the little doodles and floral washi tape. What I love most about weekly trackers is that since you’re only tracking your habits for one week it allows you to switch them around if you want.
Circular Habit Tracker
Another way to track your habits is by using circular habit trackers.
This bullet journal page uses a big circle and breaks it up by each day of the month. Then there are smaller circles to track your habits.
You can color in each section when you complete your habits. By the end of the month it will look really nice.
This may take a little longer to make than a normal habit tracker but I think it’s worth it.
Mini Calendar Habit Tracker
These mini trackers are so cute!
Instead of having one big habit tracker this person created a mini calendar for each habit. This is a good idea if you want to track multiple habits.
I love the colors she used on this page. The orange and brown tones with the little mushrooms and plants remind me of fall.
You could do this with any kind of theme. Flowers, butterflies, stars etc.
Minimalist Habit Tracker
Here is another simple habit tracker that you can add to your bullet journal.
It’s just a basic grid with the days of the month at the top. Then you can write down your habits on the left hand side… Just put a check mark when you complete that habit.
You don’t need to have fancy fonts or use a bunch of different colors and supplies.
This is a good habit tracker if you have a lot of habits that you want to track. You can quickly go through and check them off at the end of the day.
Creative Habit Tracker
This bullet journal page shows you many different creative ways to track your habits. There are circles, mini calendars, a water jar, flowerpot and even a long habit tracker.
I love the idea of using a flowerpot to track your habits. You can add a leaf each time you complete that habit and it will grow throughout the month.
This is a fun way to track your habits and you can use different designs for each habit.

Tips To Help You Use Your Habit Tracker
When first starting a habit it can be very rewarding to track it. But sometimes it can be difficult to continue.
Below are some tips to help you with your habit tracker in your bullet journal.
1. Only Start With A Couple Of Habits
There are so many great habit tracker ideas you may want to track them all.
However it can be too much if you try to track too many habits.
Pick 3-5 habits that you want to focus on. Then once those become a habit you can add more.
2. Have Your Habit Tracker Visible
By having your habit tracker visible you are more likely to remember to fill it in.
Leave your bullet journal on your desk or night stand. Anywhere you will see it.
Maybe you can incorporate it into your night routine. It only takes a couple minutes.
3. Make Your Habits Attainable
When creating a new habit make it something that you can easily do.
If you want to read more start off with 10 minutes a day.
Want to workout more? Start by walking each day.
These small habits will allow you to keep going and you can increase from there.
4. Don’t Stress If You Miss A Day
Your habit tracker does not have to be all colored in squares.
You may one day fill in all your habits and another day you may not. That’s ok!
Just try to keep going and don’t give up on your habit tracker.
5. Have Fun With Your Habit Tracker
You don’t have to just color in squares.
Use colors and doodles or even stick to a theme that you are doing for your monthly spread.
If you enjoy your habit tracker you will be more inclined to use it.
6. Evaluate Your Habits At The End Of The Month
Once your month is over take some time to evaluate your habit tracker.
Did you find that you did certain habits more than others? Maybe you want to change some habits or keep the same ones.
It’s up to you what you want to do for your next month!
