Warning: My tracker spread got too complex and I quit for 3 months
A friend told me to keep my weekly habit tracker to under 8 items but I ignored her and added 15. I spent more time coloring in boxes than actually doing the habits and ended up tossing the whole journal in a drawer. Has anyone else found a limit for how many things you can track before it becomes a chore?

Yeah I get the "homework" feeling for sure... but honestly I think 5 is too strict for some people. I've run a 12 item tracker for like 8 months straight and it only became a chore when I picked the wrong habits to track in the first place. The trick for me was grouping them into categories like "health stuff" and "creative stuff" so I don't feel like I'm just coloring for the sake of coloring. Also I stopped tracking things I already do automatically like brushing my teeth, that freed up space for the real stuff I actually want to build.
