Habit trackers are one of the most popular productivity tools, and can be really helpful when you’re trying to stay consistent.

Now, there’s a lot of tutorials out there that help you create very complicated and advanced trackers, complete with statistics, streaks, and even graphs.

If that’s what you’re into, then cool, check out some of these videos.

If, however, you just want a simple habit tracker that you can start using in five minutes and keep using for the rest of your life, here’s how you can build it in the productivity app Notion.

1. Create a Habits page

The first step is just to create a new page.

You can give it a title, add an icon and/or banner, change the font, turn it to full-width — whatever you want.

2. Create a database

Inside the page, type ‘/table view’ to create a database with a table view.
