TOP 3 Obsidian Habit Trackers and how to set them up easily

[@leanproductivity]

Personally, I find habit tracking really useful. In case you feel the same - or want to give it a try - here is an easy way for you to do so. See which of these three popular habit-tracking plugins is right for you. You can follow along and build your own tracker or download the free "Lean Habits" vault at kspr.me/lhb. As always, let me know your thoughts - I appreciate all the feedback!

I'm using Tracker plug-in, one habit per note for workouts, meditation...etc. then I use Canvas to layout each graph and calender on a dashboard.

[@leanproductivity]

@@brianwongThat sounds very neat. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the video. Can you please tell me how to make it possible to select circles (yellow, green, red) in the properties in the sleep section?

[@leanproductivity]

Thank you. I use the "metadata menu" plugin to define frontmatter fields that use lookup notes to list possible values for a field. Here is a full tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaLbZ35-o86AecU

Thanks for this super helpful video! Do you know which of the plugins would be best for charting daily and weekly habit score trends? For example, if I am tracking 5 daily habits and I complete 4 habits on a given day, that's an 80% habit score for the day (and a similar calculation for the week).

[@leanproductivity]

@@nikhilmaddiralathank you. That's very kind of you. Are these habits all true/false properties?

[@nikhilmaddirala]

@@leanproductivity Yes, let's take the simple case of 1/0 values. I'm thinking one simple method is to define a daily formula called "daily habit score" that sums all the individual habit values, then I can just use heatmap or a tracker chart to plot this. Would this be the best approach? Thanks again!

[@leanproductivity]

@@nikhilmaddirala not sure how to get this into a heatmap or chart. i managed to write a dataviewjs query that checks the current note's frontmatter, counts all boolean properties and then calculates the percentage of those that are "true". but i have not yet found a way to use these results in a chart or heatmap.

[@nikhilmaddirala]

@@leanproductivity That's a bummer, but thanks so much for looking into it! It could easily be accomplished with a custom python script automation I guess, but that's more work!

[@meilelife]

I tried to merge it with the other obsidian vaults but it doesn't work properly, I followed the guide you provided when merging CRM lean. I also can't open the Books Dashboard. I need help! 😅

[@leanproductivity]

Already found, it is done by Update time on edit plugin 👍

Just saw that you found it. That is indeed the plugin I am using.
