Tracking keeps habits visible and builds momentum. It creates accountability, highlights areas for improvement, and sustains motivation by making progress tangible.

Celebrating small wins reinforces the brain’s reward system, increasing the likelihood that habits will stick over time.

The following are some ways to track progress overtime and celebrate our wins.

Ways to Track:

Checklists (daily tick marks).
Using habit tracker apps.
Journals (noting progress and reflections).

Celebrate wins by:

Treating yourself after a 7-day streak.
Sharing progress with a friend.
Acknowledging effort, not just results.

Example:

If you want to write 500 words daily, tracking each session and celebrating after one week keeps you motivated to continue.
