== Habit Tracking Content ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. Right. So I went through like, like the website really helped me kind of solidify my thoughts and how I would apply them to me. So I ended up with one, two, three, four, five, six, seven things that I want to track daily. All right. You ready for these? Yeah. So the first one is love. Was I a good husband and father today?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, boy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So my second one is laugh. Did I smile and have fun today? My third one is create. Did I make something today? My fourth one is refresh. Did I meditate or relax today? My fifth one is read. Did I learn something from reading today? My sixth one is share. Did I promote positivity on social media today? And my last one is promote. Did I share my work or others work today? So those are my like daily themes. So I'll use the circles, like the full circle, the half circle or the blanks for those things so far on each of the just the first couple of days that I've done this. So I'm pretty happy with those. So I like how those worked out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, that's great, man. Yeah. So that's done a good job there. That's, you know, again, what you've done is you've created your version of what I recommend. But if this doesn't work for you, find something else to do on those pages. You know, but I think that those are like talking from my own experience, like it helps me some days if I feel like I had a crap day today. But then I sit down to my daily themes and I can tick something off for every box. I'm like, oh, you know what? Maybe it was better than I thought it was. So that's been something that's been quite valuable to me. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So like I'm going to keep using those things like those types of things work better for me than like your standard black and white, you know, like habit tracking, like, like what your Apple watch might track your stand goal or your activities or your consumption of things. And like I can't really do that in like a notebook. All right. So that's how I built my theme system journal so far. All right. So feedback.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's screaming for a double ribbon bookmark.
