CHAGOK HABIT TRACKING GUIDE
Habit tracking,
one small action at a time.
A habit tracker can be a record of effort, even when your routine is uneven. Here is a way to use your records to notice personal growth without making a perfect streak the goal.
Start with an action you can name
“Read for ten minutes” gives you something specific to record. “Become a better person” describes a direction, but not an action. Keep your goal in your own words, then choose one action that fits it. In Chagok, your plan starts empty so you can choose what matters to you.
Choose what the number means
Use minutes when you want to record time spent reading, walking, or practising a language. Use repetitions for an action you can count. Keep the same unit for that action so later totals are meaningful. A manual time entry records time you enter; it is not an automatic timer or fitness sensor.
Record the amount you actually did
If you planned to read for ten minutes but read for five, record five. If you later notice a mistake, correct the entry. Your habit calendar is useful as a record of what happened, rather than a score you have to protect.
Leave space for days off
A blank day means there is no record for that day. It does not tell the whole story about your effort or circumstances. When you return, continue with the next small action. Chagok keeps earlier records so you can revisit accumulated progress.
Review your progress over a month
Look at which actions appear across your calendar and how much time or how many repetitions you recorded. Reading on eight days and walking on twelve days describe different activities; do not add their minutes and counts into a single performance score. Ask yourself which action you would like to keep, simplify, or change next month.
Keep a record you can return to
A growth report image is a way to keep a snapshot of your progress. A backup file preserves editable records and can be used to restore them. Back up before changing devices or clearing local data. Chagok is preparing for launch; the getting-started guide shows how these features fit together.
Small habit ideas to make your own
| Your direction | An action to record | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Make time to read | Read a few pages | Minutes |
| Spend time outdoors | Take a walk | Minutes |
| Keep learning | Practise a language | Minutes |
| Make room for creativity | Complete a drawing exercise | Count |
These are optional examples, not default goals or a recommended routine. Choose an amount that fits your life.
