Why this one

The value of a paper habit tracker is that it is visible. An app hides the streak behind a notification you learn to dismiss; a sheet on the wall is simply there, and the gap in a row is obvious from across the room.

Thirty-one columns cover the longest month, so the same sheet works for any month of any year. Cross out the columns you do not need.

How to use it

  1. Write the month at the top and the habits down the left column.
  2. Cross out any day columns the month does not have — most months need fewer than thirty-one.
  3. Mark each day you do the habit. A filled box is easier to read at a glance than a tick.
  4. Put it somewhere you will see it without looking for it.

Printing it

The PDF above is already sized for Letter and A4 — download it and print as many copies as you like. To print straight from this page instead, use the print button and choose portrait orientation at 100% scale; the navigation and explanatory text are hidden automatically. The print guide covers the settings that cause most problems.

There is no watermark, no signup, and no limit. If you are printing a stack to keep, 120 gsm paper takes pen pressure without showing through.

Common questions

How many habits can I track?
Twelve rows, though tracking twelve habits at once is usually a mistake. Three to five is where most people actually sustain it; the extra rows are there so you do not have to reprint when you add one.
Is it monthly or weekly?
Monthly. There are thirty-one day columns, which covers the longest month. For a shorter month, cross out the columns you do not need.
Does it have the dates printed on it?
The columns are numbered 1 to 31, but there is no month or year, so the sheet works for any month. Write the month on the line at the top.
