I used to say tracking every slip up was for losers, then I heard a guy at the gym say something at 6am
Honestly I always figured logging my bad habits daily was just busywork, but a guy named Reggie at my gym in Cleveland told me he went from 20 smokes a day to zero just by marking an X on a calendar every time he lit up. I tried it with my late night snacking for 9 days and seeing 6 X's staring back at me was way more real than any app notification. So now I write it down every single time instead of guessing. Has anyone else had a habit that only stuck once they could see it on paper?

Man, this reminds me of when I tried to quit biting my nails in college. I put a rubber band on my wrist and snapped it every time I caught myself, not the calendar thing but same idea of making it real in the moment. Lasted about two weeks before I just got used to the snap and kept chewing anyway. Your X on paper sounds way harder to ignore than a wrist sting, so maybe I did it wrong.
