I’ve been a big resolution and list maker for as long as I can remember, but it wasn’t until this month that I realized how many of my children have inherited these goal-setting tendencies.
I’ve noticed my younger kids (and grandkids, when they visit) lining up with Bibles in laps first thing every morning, then running laps around our house after breakfast to start the day right with devotions and exercise.
And I caught several of our older ones downloading charts from our family website to track their progress. Here are several of my most popular year-at-a-glance calendars and habit trackers (with a couple of new ones thrown in for good measure).
First, we have several versions specifically for 2019 ( click here to download all these PDF files at once):
We also have the following generic habit trackers you can use year after year:
Don’t get duped into thinking you have to wait for a January 1 to establish better habits either. The majority of New Year’s resolutions are cast by the wayside before folks make it to February, anyway. There’s even a holiday dedicated to ditching them (January 17), for folks that want to throw up their hands and give up on their dreams en masse.
That’s one holiday I DON’T celebrate. I do my best, and if I miss a day, I start fresh the following day chipping away at my objective little by little.
Want to know the best time to start working consistently toward achieving your most important goals? Now. Today. This minute. And use our habit trackers to keep tabs on your progress!

You are amazing, I can’t understand how powerful and full of energy you are. I have three little kids and it’s a huge challenge for me. But when I see how you manage to make your job so perfect, I get a big inspiration whom to follow.
Thank you for so great example and all the information that you share!
Best wishes for You and Your beautiful family from Lithuania!

February 13, 2019 at 5:00 amThank you for all those kind words of encouragement, Justa. I can assure you it was a huge challenge for me when I had only three little kids, too. Those early stages of parenting are exhausting!
I don’t know about managing my job “so perfect,” but as somebody much wiser than I am once said, “God equips those whom He calls.”
That is certainly true of motherhood. He’s done it for me and will do it for you, too. First He blesses us with the children themselves, then He gives us the all wisdom and patience and energy we need to raise them.

January 11, 2019 at 6:49 pmHi Jennifer.
Thank you for the habit tracker. I had brain tumor surgery over 19 years ago, and I had suffered a brain stroke during the surgery, so I forget things very easily. I’ve been trying to figure out how to come up with writing things down and making sure I can keep track of things. Thank you very much for this. It’s a lifesaver! Thank you, thank you! You have a good day.

January 12, 2019 at 10:10 amYou’re so welcome, Gloria! I’m sorry about your brain tumor and stroke, but am glad to hear you’re in year 19 after surgery. That’s wonderful! Glad the habit trackers have helped you.
