Introduction

Sticking to habits and achieving your goals can be challenging, but Notion makes it easier with its flexible databases and templates. In this guide, we’ll show you how to set up a habit tracker and goal-setting system in Notion to help you stay consistent and motivated.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Create a New Page for Habits and Goals
   Start by creating a new page in Notion called “Habits & Goals.” Add an icon (e.g., a star) to make it stand out.

   
   

2. Set Up a Habit Tracker Database
   Type /table and select “Table - Inline.” Add columns for each day of the week (e.g., “Monday,” “Tuesday”) and rows for habits (e.g., “Drink Water,” “Meditate”). Use checkboxes to mark completion.

   
   

3. Add a Progress Tracker
   Create a new column called “Progress” and use a formula to calculate your weekly completion rate (e.g., prop("Monday") + prop("Tuesday") + ... / 7).

   
   

4. Create a Goals Database
   Type /table again and create a new table for goals. Add columns for “Goal,” “Deadline,” “Status” (e.g., “Not Started,” “In Progress,” “Completed”), and “Notes.”

   
   

5. Link Habits to Goals
   Add a “Related Habits” column to your Goals table using a Relation property. Link each goal to the habits that support it (e.g., link “Run a Marathon” to the “Run 5K” habit). Visualize Your Progress
   Switch your Goals table to a “Board” view to see your goals as a Kanban board. Drag goals between statuses as you make progress.

   
   

6. Review and Reflect Weekly
   Set up a weekly review page using /page. Add a checklist of reflection questions (e.g., “What went well this week?”) and link to your habit tracker and goals.
