Habit tracking habits?

It's day 12 of bullet journaling, and I've figured out that as nifty as my tiny little monthly tracker blocks are, they are too small. If I used them to track several additional things I should probably track, they'd take up several pages a month.

Sorry to repeat already, but these nifty boxes are too small!

Right now, I'm using these one-box-per-day calendars to track runs, guitar practice, and gym workouts. I do my runs and guitar practice pretty regularly, so I need more space for them. I also want to track recurring things I am adding to every daily log, such as things I do every day at work.

I like this idea, from Cerries Mooney, who has a nifty habit tracker that lets her keep up with 11 or more things. She does it sideways in the notebook so it will fit (I rotated it 90 degrees so you can read it). This is a nice format. You can change what you track if something doesn't need to be tracked, or if you want to add something new that you might do more consistently if you tracked it.

I started adding my blood pressure numbers to daily logs. That has helped me check my pressure more often, but daily logs don't seem like the most efficient place for something you should do every day.

I think most people will do something more often if they track it. I know I start feeling guilty when a long row of unchecked boxes stares back at me. I run almost every day with a fast dog and get lots of other activity in, so that's not a bothersome void to me. Well, OK, it's a little bothersome.

I admit I look forward to filling out my bullet journal every morning. We'll see if I start slacking on the weekend.
