It took a while to shrink my weekly habits tracker down from A5 to Personal size, but I'm quite happy with this version:
Each week, the tracker will guide you through a four-step process that will help you develop habits in the areas of:
The insert takes you through the following process:
Step 1: Decide on a goal for this week. For instance, earning a 4 every day would mean a score for the week of 28. Be realistic; think about what would represent a good performance for this particular week.
You'll need to think about what a top score of 5 every day (=35 for the week) would actually mean for you, and what a lower score would look like. Here, your life goals will guide you (because you do have life goals, right?) Also think about what else is happening in your life in the coming week and what compromises you might therefore have to make.
Step 2: At the end of each day, score yourself for each habit. A score of 1 indicates a poor performance that you are very unhappy with. A 5 indicates the best possible performance.
Be honest here. Look back each day at what you were hoping to achieve - what you think (say) a 5 or a 3 look like - and compare your actual performance.
Step 3: At the end of the week, calculate your total points and compare against your goals.
Just some adding up to do, and see how you performed against the targets you set at the start of the week.
Step 4: Reflect on this week and set yourself some commitments for next week.
Work out what you are proud of this week. Give yourself a pat on the back. Resolve to keep doing it.
Then think about what you plan to improve on next week.
If you're ready to start tracking your habits, you can download and print the insert. You can choose either the editable Word file or the PDF file. Choose the Word file if you want to change the standard habits to your own.
Print these double-sided. If you have a duplex printer, set it to flip on the short edge. If you don't then you'll have to print odd-numbered pages and then refeed to print the even-numbered pages on the reverse. You might have to experiment to find out how to refeed the paper.
On one side of each sheet you'll find crop marks. Use a craft knife and a steel ruler to release the Personal pages and punch them. The templates are set up with mirrored gutters to accommodate the holes.

Each week, the tracker will guide you through a four-step process that will help you develop habits in the areas of:
- Diet (either for weight reduction or for health)
- Exercise (any amount for any level of fitness)
- Money (either making it or saving it)
- Study (at any level, formal or informal)
- Karma (being nice, paying it forward or any aspect you choose)

If using the PDF be sure to set it to print at full size as explained here.

This looks excellent, just what I need.
I can't print double sided, the marks never line up, but single sided leaving the left hand page blank for notes will be fine.
