Why i do not use Notion template
If you have been and will use Notion to manage your life, then one of the things you must have tried using Notion’s built-in Template for managing your habits.
Before that, I also used this template for a while; However, this template is quite manual to use and lacks statistical displays about the results achieved (still, if you are fluent in Notion code & setup function).
I mainly used the app on my phone to track my habits; the advantage was that it was convenient but fragmented, and I needed help to connect to Notion, so it was still a problem.
Until one day, I got a site specializing in creating a Habit Tracker board and could import it to Notion. After testing for a while, I was satisfied and wrote an article to share with everyone.

Guide how to create Habit Tracker board
We will have 4 simple steps:
Step 1: Create your Account on Life of Discipline & try creating Habit
Visit https://www.lifeofdiscipline.com/sign-up & create your account.
Fill in your information:
- Type: 3 main option: Timer/ Number/ Binary, with detailed description.

After having the link, proceed to create Embed in Notion. I have made a demo video for you.

My comment about this Habit tracker
Good Point
- You can interact directly with Notion and log records (this feature has just been updated).
- Visualize your habit records visually, and the color of your stools is light and dark, making it easy to visualize how your habits are distributed.
- There are many colors suitable for multi-color players.
- It’s free.
- The embedded Habit tracker size in Notion can be adjusted to the desired size.
- It can be adjusted to fit the color with the Dark mode / Light mode of Notion.
Still need to consider
- Notion self-host, so it does not exclude the case that this page is down and you will lose data (I have not found a place to backup data on here), but this possibility is low because it seems that this application has been connected with Notion.
- The free version can only create up to 5 Habit Tracking boards + 2 colors for heatmap, if there is a lot of demand, 3$/month & $28/year is too cheap for a useful application like this.. Link here: https://www.lifeofdiscipline.com/get-premium
Conclusion
The guide to this is the end; I wish you have one more application to help you keep your habits.
