155+ Bullet Journal Habit Tracker Ideas To Improve Your Life

Hello Planning Mashers!

Habit tracker is a great tool for personal improvement, increase in productivity, and goal achieving. Moreover, keeping a habit tracker can help you know more about yourself and your lifestyle.

What I found difficult is to choose what to track! So here is my comprehensive list of 155+ things to put in your habit tracker. 

Bullet Journal habit trackers are probably some of the most important pages to help you improve your life,

Habit trackers can help you to learn more about yourself and your habits, and – later on – to develop better habits and a more productive and healthy lifestyle (depending of course on your reasons to use one).

It’s also a great tool to keep you motivated and on track to creating a better life for yourself.

The beauty of a habit tracker is that you can track anything with it. I’d advise you to try out several different things, to see what works for you the best.

But always remember, you’re doing it to have a more productive and happier life, so once you feel like filling out trackers becomes a chore – it’s time to cut down on what you track!

What And Why Of Bullet Journal Habit Trackers

Ok let’s start simple – what is a habit tracker?

That’s simple – a habit tracker is a tool you create in your Bullet Journal that helps you to monitor your good (and bad) daily habits and actions.

But of course, you don’t actually need a Bullet Journal to start tracking your habits, you can simply use a piece of paper and a pen, or even your phone (even we here at Masha Plans are all for a pen and paper approach).

The essential elements of a habit tracker are the habits you want to track and how long you want to track them. As long as these elements are there, you’ll be able to make huge changes to your habits and therefore your whole life.

Your habit tracker is there to provide you with information on the little things you do every day. And the next step is up to you – to figure out how to use this information to improve your life.

Is there an annoying little habit-changing that can have a huge impact on you later? Is there something you can be more consistent with so eventually, it can grow into a huge change in your lifestyle?

If you’re having mental health struggles, a habit tracker can be a useful tool for your therapy sessions, since again – little changes in your habits can lead you to better mental health.

Moreover, if you create a habit tracker that is relevant to your life and goals, it can help keep you accountable, motivated, and push you towards achieving your goals.

If you want to learn more about habit trackers, be sure to check my post Your Ultimate Guide To Habit Trackers, where we talk more about different types of habit trackers and different ways habit tracking can help you.

How To Set Up A BuJo Habit Tracker

You don’t need much to set up your habit tracker – a fineliner and some colors (like my favorite Zebra Mildliners) would be just enough.

If you want to create some cute circle trackers, you definitely will need a Helix Circle Ruler. Or if you want you can invest in my favorite set of stencils, which includes a stencil for the usual table tracker, as well as the one for circle trackers (or a circle monthly log).

Here are a few ways you can set up your habit tracker.

• Mini Daily Habit Trackers

Mini habit trackers are a fun way to track your habits weekly.

They are simple to set up and you can create them in a super cute way to match your monthly theme.

• Calendar Habit Trackers

My favorite way to set up a habit tracker is by creating little calendars for each habit.

I love how clean it looks and how easy it is to see how you’re doing on each habit.

• Horizontal Habit Tracker

This is probably the most popular format, or at least the one everybody starts from. It’s really convenient when you have a lot of things to track.

You can create it on one spread, so you’ll need to turn your journal every time you fill out your tracker. Or you can create one huge habit tracker on two pages.

• Vertical Monthly Habit Tracker

Another great format if you want to track quite a lot of habits but want to see how you do every day on each habit. That way you can estimate your day by day, not habit by habit.

It’s very convenient to have all the habits together like that, you can see more interesting patterns that way, or at least they are easier to spot.

• Circle Tracker

These are so so cute! Ever since I started Bullet Journaling I’ve been in love with circle tracker and dying to try it. They also look pretty neat even if you’re tracking several habits at the same time.

To help you with that you can always use a helpful stencil or a ruler, like this Helix one, or just get some printables. 

• Doodly Tracker

This type of habit tracker is super fun, but it does take extra effort because it implies that you need to repeat a doodle as many times as there are days in the month.

The idea is that you draw a doodle and assign a habit to each part of it.

Once you complete the habit during the day, just color that part of the doodle.

These are some of the ideas on how to set up your habit tracker, but there is also a different option – to use a printable.

This might help you experiment more with that kind of habit tracker format fits you better. Plus that can help you start tracking your habits sooner, which is always a good thing.

We have several printable habit trackers in the Resources Vault, so that’s always a good place to start.

How Many Habits Should You Track

This is a big question and I want you to really think about it. 

Habit tracking must never feel like a chore because then you lose all the effects.

Trying to track ALL the habits at once will just overwhelm you and eventually will lead to you leaving the whole idea of habit tracking.

To stay concentrated on your habits I’d recommend starting from 2-6. once these are established you can add more as you go. Just be sure you start very simple.

It can be even a fun and motivating idea to add “filled out a habit tracker” as one of your habits.

Ultimately, there are no right or wrong amount of habits to track, it’s up to you to figure out what works best. Just be sure not to overwhelm yourself.

Bullet Journal Habit Tracker Layout Ideas

Finally, I gathered here a lot of habit tracker layouts for most of the categories I mentioned above.

There are lots of different and creative ways to set up your habit tracker, so I wanted to collect a lot of inspiration for you here.

Starting something new is always difficult, so a cool idea would be to make your habit tracker a bit more fun and creative, so you’d want to look at it every day.

Here is a sleep tracker idea that helps you track how many hours you slept during the night and at what time you went to bed.

I found that the time I go to bed usually influences a lot of how well I sleep, so I thought this will be a great thing to add to your sleep tracker.

If you want to learn more about sleep trackers check out my post 21 Adorable Bullet Journal Sleep Trackers For Better Sleep Habits.

A mood tracker is a must-have spread for me pretty much every month. I started using it when the pandemic hit to help me basically stay sane and it helped so much that I kept using it.

If you never used a mood tracker be sure to check my post 35+ Creative Mood Trackers and How To Use One In Your Bullet Journal.

A beautiful way to track all the things for a healthy lifestyle. I really love the aesthetics of the page and the beautiful abstract style of decoration.

This is kind of something similar to what I was trying to do in my January 2021 Bullet Journal setup, only I went with an even simpler style and more cold colors since my setup was for winter.

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how creative this mood tracker is!

It’s so perfect for fall because that’s the season when so many tree colors are possible. Genius!

Speaking of Fall, if you’re looking for a theme to create a setup this Autumn be sure to check my post 35+ Enchanting Fall Bullet Journal Theme and Page Ideas.

Love this cute Disney-themed mood tracker. Honestly, I’m interested in how she filled it out.

I think probably the best option here would be to use different colors, that would work great since all dwarfs were dressed in different colors if I remember correctly.

Check my post Wonderous Disney Themed Bullet Journal Inspirations with more tips on how to bring your favorite classics to your Bullet Journal pages.

Another sleep tracker and this one is right next to a productivity tracker.

I think this is such an awesome idea because let’s be honest – sleep has an incredible influence on our productivity levels.

Skincare is an important thing at any age, but let’s be honest – life can be busy, and you can easily start skipping some steps of your routine.

This is no good though, you and your beautiful face deserve better!

So create a little tracker like this with your routine and make sure you follow through with it every day. A habit tracker can help!

This is a great example of tracking your self-care routine, this one, in particular, is concentrated on body care.

I definitely need it because things like body scrub are the first for me to forget to do!

I also find that it’s really cool that the creator added the measurements to this tracker as well. If you’re trying to be in your best shape – this is a great way to check up on how you’re doing.

From the first glance, this tracker doesn’t seem like anything special but if you look closer you’ll see.

It’s so creative how all the trackers are also divided by different categories – how heavy was the makeup, what time of an outfit was worn.

Establishing a new habit of working out can be pretty hard, but you can do it!

And a little workout tracker can help you stay motivated as you see the boxes filling out each day.

For me, this one looks like a great tracker for a health challenge, like 31 days of a plank or something like that, when you need to do something each and every day.

Seeing your progress when you’re on a weight loss journey is so important and motivating, so I really recommend you try this one.

I also added here the before measurements so once you lost all the weight you wanted you could see how far you’ve come.

Notice that there are no dates on this tracker, this is because I think weighing yourself each day is not very useful and can be even more damaging if you see one day the numbers go up. So instead maybe try to do it once a week, it will serve you much better.

An amazing weight loss tracker by Jess.

I love that she added it together with tons of things she will be doing for weight loss, like healthy meal ideas and monthly health challenges.

That way you always stay on track and concentrated because you know what’s your goal and how exactly you’ll be getting to it.

You can always just add your health-related habits to your usual habit tracker and have such a cluster for all your habits.

Just be careful with doing this – tracking too many habits can become a chore and be too overwhelming.

This is my little book tracker. Here I will be writing the books I read until I name all the books. Yeah, I know there aren’t that many here, but I’m starting up on my reading with small steps.

These kinds of trackers are great as yearly pages when let’s say you put yourself a goal to read a certain amount of books, and you fill it up as you go during the year. It feels pretty satisfying to have all the books named once the year is over.

Another meditation tracker and I love how this one is also divided by how much time you actually meditated.

I must say it’s amazing to see that one day the author actually meditated for 30 minutes! I just started picking up the habit of meditation again and so far 15 minutes is pretty much my limit.

I’ve been totally obsessed with listening to podcasts. They can be anything – good education, good entertainment.

Whatever you need you can find it in the podcast form.

So it can be a fun idea to have a podcast tracker. You can either track which episodes you’ve already listened to or maybe just see how many times a month (or a week) you actually listen to them.

What’s the hardest thing to do for you when it comes to finances? For me, it’s definitely saving money!

But with a help of a little tracker, I managed to save up quite a bit.

It’s all about saving a little bit but being consistent about your savings and a savings tracker is definitely a great tool to keep it up.

Another cool savings tracker for managing your finances. It can be fun to draw little coins with the amount of money you added to your savings each time you do, so you can see it fill out, just like when you were a kid.

Note that there is no exact date here to fill out the jar. This habit tracker is more concentrated on gathering a certain amount rather than saving it by a certain date. This is kind of just building your savings account kind of tracker.

I really love this tracker because there is just so much here to keep you motivated. Not only a savings tracker but also a no spend days and most importantly – the reason for savings.

I always find when you have an exact reason why you do something it really helps to stay motivated and keep up.

A yearly cleaning tracker I created to keep all the cleaning organized.

I really like this tracker and how it helps me to remember to do some cleaning tasks I actually usually forget about.

Another great cleaning tracker and this one divides the house by areas. This is a great way to organize your big cleaning projects, like let’s say a spring cleaning.

I also really like the bright colors she used for this page, it kind of makes the cleaning look a bit more fun.

Classy black and white tracker.

I really love the contrast of black and white and with how clean and neat it looks – it seems like the perfect match for this type of tracker.

This was probably my most popular social media tracker.

I thought since I’m tracking my Instagram growth it made sense to use cameras for tracking, and since Pastel Set of Tombow Dual Brush Pens was my favorite at the time I went with these colors.

This was a little tracker for another account I had one day. It was very new so I counted it much more detailed.

With my love for hot beverages like coffee and tea, creating a tracker with cute little cups was just a matter of time.

I love this tracker and the awesome galaxy vibe! It also kind of makes me think of old games like Pacman?

The lettering of the header is also such a perfection! Love the black outline and white lines n the letter – there are some of my favorite ways to add interest to my lettering as well.

This tracker is so cute! My guess is that the general idea is that using the colors in the key she will be writing the numbers for each thing she tracks next to the date.

With her cute drawings and wonderful handwriting, I’m sure this tracker ended up looking great!

Sleep tracker and work tracker often go together and it’s a great idea I think.

Sleep and work really influence each other a lot so it can help you a lot to understand the connections. And work tracker is a great way to keep yourself organized, especially if you work from home.

An awesome tracker that makes sure you’re covering all the important work tasks.

You have different things you do for your work when you have a corporate job, but if you work for yourself it’s even more! You are your own CEO, marketing specialist, designer, sales team. Basically, an entire company is just one person.

With so much to do it’s easy to get lost in tasks and forget about some areas. So a tracker like this is very important,

Such a cute ultimate tracker of ALL things.

I love this idea to see everything at once, and that way you will surely never forget to fill out any of your trackers.

I also like the way this page is decorated with kraft paper and those cute kitty paws.

A cute work tracker that you can use on your weekly pages.

Always remember that you don’t have to use a monthly tracker – if tracking things week by week works better for you – just go for it.

Studying piano is hard, I’ve actually played piano for 4 years when I was in school.

Dropping it was one of the silliest things I could’ve done.

The important thing when you study piano is to remember to practice, and this tracker doesn’t only allow you to see which days you practiced, but also what exactly did you play – love it!

Such a cute tracker and the colors and leaf pattern in the frame make it perfect for a Fall Bullet Journal Theme.

I actually started using a similar tracker in my French study journal and it helps a lot to be sure I keep up with my homework.

Love how beautiful this tracker looks and of course how extremely useful it is.

There is a lot of information here, from which days and what kind of homework you did to how long you started and how productive you’ve been.

And yet it doesn’t look convoluted at all.

Can we just take a moment and admire how adorable this tracker is with the cute illustrations.

Having a pet is always a responsibility so it’s helpful to track things like these to make sure your little friend gets all he or she needs.

How cute is this tracker?! I really love that she included the photos for her little pup.

I must say I also absolutely love how neat and straight all the trackers look. I can never get such perfection in my journal, even with a ruler.

One more super cute tracker, rocking some Happy Planner stickers. Even if you don’t use a Happy Planner, their stickers are amazing!

I use them all the time in my memory-keeping pages.

I also really like that she added the birthday to the page, such a sweet thing to remember.

Final tracker with two pets to track.

I rarely see people having snakes but I must admit – snakes are so beautiful and they do have some magic in them, they just completely enchant you.

If having a pen is a lot of responsibility, I can’t even imagine what it’s like to have a baby. You have to do so many things to make sure your little one is all good. So trackers are definitely a great help.

Like this little one tracker the feeding and sleep of the baby – two of the most important things for the little one to grow.

One more take on the baby tracker. I like that here you also have an area for notes where you can add some of your observations or maybe even milestones.

The habit tracker is there to help you have a better life and to make you more productive.

So when you feel like it’s a chore and doesn’t help you anymore, it’s crucial to look through it and cut out the parts that aren’t working for you.
