Tip #1: A tracker you don’t open is just a spreadsheet with good intentions

Doesn’t matter how good your fields are, or how colour coded it looks, if you’re not opening it, it’s not doing anything. Pick one moment in your week (Monday coffee, Friday wind down, whatever) and make it non negotiable. The tracker only works if it becomes a habit, not a project you’ll eventually get to someday.

And for what it’s worth, it definitely doesn’t have to be a spreadsheet. I don’t mind what you use, as long as you use it!
