Visualise your progress as you track habits in Notion

The Upward Spiral is a habit tracker Notion template with a difference. It doesn't just track how often you complete a habit, it shows you your compounding progress. You can mark habits as complete from an Apple Shortcut and visualise your progress in a chart.

@aplssf as someone who tracks my habits/goals in notion this looks super interesting! How do you think about people translating a habit into an exact %? E.g. if I meditate every day, that is a somewhat binary decision to me. I like the idea of compound habit interest - wonder if there could be some automatic translation e.g. if I meditate 10 days in a row, then each subsequent day == 1.2% or something like that increasing over time to help users get into habit/understanding the power of being consistent. Either way cool template and congrats on the launch!

@alexroe glad you like the idea! The % is definitely not going to be completely accurate in most cases. The most important thing is for the % to create an upward trend if you’re completing your habits and a downward trend if you’re not. The 12 days calculation would be tricky in Notion but it’s doable in Rows. The default negative % helps encourage consistency too though - otherwise your progress decreases…

Hi Product Hunt! I created The Upward Spiral template as a reminder that the progress from completing your habits isn't linear, it compounds. If you get 1% fitter each week, by the end of the year you'll be 68% (not 52%) more fit. I wanted a tool that both let me visualise that compounding and the integrated chart (made with Rows), does that beautifully. I also wanted a tracker which reflected the reality that if you stop making progress, you're not just standing still but in fact, each day you're taking a step backwards. Seeing that happening is an extra reminder to not let your progress slip away. I find these two concepts incredibly motivational and I hope you will too! Of course, opening Notion several times a day to record a progress score would be a little bit clunky so I also made an Apple Shortcut that lets you record completed habits from your lockscreen or homescreen as well :) I hope this helps make you more motivated than ever to complete your habits in 2023!

"... if you stop making progress, you're not just standing still but in fact, each day you're taking a step backwards..." This is a very important sentence. Congratulations on your idea @aplssf

@aplssf Rows looks amazing. Do you have it integrated with Rows, then have a chart embedded into the notion page?
