    Simon, I love this. I actually watched your previous habit tracker video and it inspired me to put my own spin on it, but what I've done is exactly what you've done on this video haha.
    I wanted a better control of the habit logs and I didn't want to log them directly in the habit page, also I needed an overview of which days I had done the habit. I also loved your setup because it could accommodate weekly habits and not just daily habits

      hm.. my total logged is a rollup.
      I have a habits database and a dates database and my habit button edits the dates database relating the specific habit that I did that day. In my habits database I have a rollup that sums all the days (related pages) that have been logged for that specific habit

    I love how there is a yearly progress bar.
    I assume you thought of this already but I'll ask anyways. Is there a way that we can also have a weekly or monthly progress bar of all the habits for our week/month so we can shorten the feedback loop of achieving habit targets?
    Cheers Simon! Long time fan :D

    Hi Simon, A nice update to the Habit Tracker and a nice explanation video (though there is a little transmission glitch at 1:25). Anyway, I have a question about linking entries from the Journal directly into the Tracker (I'm referring to last year's Complete Life OS, but I'm guessing it may be in this year's version as well). I do my Daily Reflection first thing in the morning. There is a field for Mood where I can select how I feel at the beginning of the day. Later in the day when I go into the Tracker and select the current day to log habits and exercises, there is also a field for Mood. Would it be possible to link these two fields so what I add for my mood in the morning it's automatically added to the day in the Tracker? Or did you set this up intentionally with the idea that a person's mood could/would change during the day and thus allow that to be captured? Just curious.

    • @BetterCreating
      @BetterCreating  3 місяці тому

      I would simply run them for a 3 month period linked to the year: easily done: just set start and end date. You could then potentially roll up the totals into a wider year report. :)

      Ah wonderful thanks. Ah - the Notion buttons: tricky to explain in a comment; just checkout the Notion guide pages for more :) it basically relates a habit database to a days data database and then counts the number of relations in the habit database :)

      To see empty days - yes - You will need to ensure there is a day entry for each day generated with no habits linked : they would show as 0 and on graph.

      Hi Steve, - yes - this seems to be a strange Notion bug with duplication recently. I've deleted the Template page for the database in the templates and recreated it. Please try either doing the same (delete the database template, create a new one and make the heading '@Today' (selecting the when duplicated option) You can also search Unsplash for 'White' to find the same cover for the template if you wish. Then try changing the repeat to daily and see if this works... let me know at notion@bettercreating.com. The alternative could be to duplicate a new copy to your workspace now I've done the above to the template. Thanks!
