Greta you will always be famous to me.
Imagine dick-punching someone, through the Internet, so hard they wake up in a Romanian prison.

Notion, my beloved <3
new: i made a FREE TEMPLATE if you're interested in this habit tracker notion setup🌱💗💞
i've received a few questions about how i track habits, which honestly changes often, but i thought i'd share how i do it right now.
other posts that may interest you: making a dashboard in notion (with template) | my notion tag
this is a pretty low-maintenance and simple way of tracking habits, while still using the wonderful database feature. i hope it helps you ✨😋
post text in alt text and also under the cut:
title: how i track my habits on notion (an illustrated guide + free template)
habit breakdown: every year i take some time to define exactly what my habits are first (i like to use icons for simplicity). this way, i know what i have to do to check off a habit on a day
how i use it: every day, my dashboard has a habits section that updates daily. when i practice the habit, i just check it off. this refreshes automatically so it’s convenient.
how i use it: at the end of each month, i can see how consistent i was with specific habits. i do this by looking at my monthly percentages and looking for patterns: did i burn out on a particular habit? why? and i think about how i should adjust these to my current reality every month, because life happens!
how i use it: then i jot down these numbers so i have a general idea of whether or not i’m being consistent with the intentions i set at the beginning of the month. i ask myself, why or why not? and then i make adjustments to my new interests and priorities.
benefits
benefits — an easy habit tracker helps you see what you’re doing each day so you have an idea of what you want to practice more, practice less, and gives you a better idea of how your habits are affecting your wellbeing, instead of just relying on vibes, which can make you hard on yourself.
encouragement — checking it off gives me a sense of accomplishment. i had a tendency of thinking i wasn’t ‘doing enough’ each month, but when i write things down, i have concrete proof that i did things that were important to me. you also get to look back on your month and be like, look at all these things i did for myself! and have a little celebration :)
how it works: calendar view: of course i’ve created a template for you to use (yay!), but it’s worth learning how i set up the template so you can adjust it to your needs. basically, each habit is a property, and each page corresponds to a day, which has all the habits on it like a checklist. every month i duplicate the page each day for a month (it sounds cumbersome, but actually only takes about a minute total). this allows me to review every month if i want to keep my habits the same, set habit intentions each month so i can reflect and consider, what habits should i continue? what should i stop? it keeps it flexible. also, if you’re going on vacation, need a break, or anything comes up, you can take days off and that way your statistics won’t be skewed by stretches of time where you aren’t planning to practice your habits.
tip: hold alt + drag your mouse to duplicate pages super quickly for this step
how it works: count page: all you have to do here is filter the date to the interval you’d like to see your habits summarized in. i keep mine as calculated per month, but you can set your interval for a week or year or something more specific.
how it works: daily view: i create a linked database and set the view to gallery, filter to “Today” and make sure that all the properties for habits are enabled so they appear in a little task list. then i just check them off each day. it updates automatically.
closing: and that’s it! for me, simple is best. i change how i track stuff all the time, but for now, this works just fine. i hope it can help you too.

IT'S SONG REC. SUNDAY!!
☆ NOAH CYRUS - RE: STACKS
• Originally sung by Bon Iver, so you know it'll be a banger
• Noah really gets to show off her lower range, which is my favourite part of her voice
• The song is very slow and beautiful, but carries this air of mystery and happiness. Great for disassociating!
Link:
https://open.spotify.com/track/6X6fJzF0BGbUk6mhqNvgZZ?si=vgrHBqMtS1KOuVfbmWXmQg&utm_source=copy-link
☆ THE PAPER KITES - PAINT
• Absolutely stunning!
• Simple guitar plays through the whole song
• Has insane harmonies and vocal layers in the chorus that wrap you in an blanket of warmth. It's so nice.
Link:
https://open.spotify.com/track/5Ewz5ms8XpjtkihWFLnJJs?si=BaAYVXpnQU-gH6lrKl55Pw&utm_source=copy-link
☆ ODETTE - DWELL
• I will promote this song until the day I die
• Odette is an incredible vocalist and lyricist, and this song really shows her abilities without it feeling too overbearing or over the top
• The song is just 5 minutes and 12 seconds of bliss, check it out!! Link:
https://open.spotify.com/track/3weEaJVVWtgAOPgR6TGo0e?si=iY2oZKKwSraT8MLPo4fBuA&utm_source=copy-link
☆ BON IVER - FLUME
• The guitar sounds so good in this song oh my goodness
• I love this song so much and the vocals are insane and the production is insane and aghfhskdh
• Flume is like Skinny Love's hotter, cooler cousin
Link:
https://open.spotify.com/track/0bhBtXHQX3u6dSAPF59qGx?si=wlUTXMurSIanUZQc2x7CHw&utm_source=copy-link
☆ FOXPAW - OUT OF EGYPT
• Two vocal tracks blended together really adds this special, enveloping feeling
• It's based on the story of Moses from Judaism and Christianity (correct me if I'm wrong!) so that's super cool
• Has the same energy as a song you'd sing around a campfire with that big group of friends you don't have, so it will make you sad!
Link:

Hayden did an incredible job at portraying Anakin's spiral into madness and the darkside. He's not a bad actor, it was just a slightly awkward script.
I will die on this hill.

Going from reading 24/7, being praised for your reading level, constantly doing well on writing assignments and topping your classes to not having any motivation to read, sleeping all the time, having zero creativity to write, and forgetting everything your teachers have taught you is the worst feeling in the world. Wouldn't recommend lmao.

I just rewatched Pride & Prejudice for the fifth time. For some reason, I never noticed that Mr Bennet and Lydia play President Snow and Johanna in The Hunger Games...
