 "If you can't measure it, you can't improve it." 

That quote got me into habit trackers, thinking they'd be key. But every time I use them, they feel helpful...until they don't. Lately, I've found that short-term tracking where you reset and delete all data after each day (at most, each week) works best for me

Understanding why I want to make a change is infinitely more powerful and seeing the data seems to interrupt that for me. Funny how so many influencers go on about them but the less tracking I do, the more consistent the habit becomes. Less is more, I guess
