I swore off habit trackers until a three-month slump in my creative projects forced a reevaluation.

Adding a basic tracker highlighted how inconsistent sketching days correlated directly with my motivation dips.

What's the betting that my tracker will just confirm I'm most motivated when avoiding actual work? After reading @palmer.simon's coffee confession, I realized my off days start with a dead phone battery. So much for technology seamlessly boosting creativity, right?

That bit about it "correlated directly" is so key. Spotting the pattern is one thing, but then you gotta figure out the trigger for those off days. For me, it's usually skipping my morning coffee routine.
