HABIT SUCCESS-TRACKING WITH... SLIDING BEADS - it's portable, it's versatile, it's a sliding bead counter!

I REALLY LIKE SLIDING BEAD COUNTERS TO TRACK MY HABIT SUCCESS.

Here's what it can look like...
(it can be made many ways)...

I can wear it as a bracelet.

I can clip it on a water bottle or cup to track water drank so far.

I can clip it on a food container to track food eaten so far.

I can tape my laptop to track how many times I got up and moved so far.

So many possibilities!!! Yay!

Apparently people have been using sliding beads for years.

Golfers use them to track strokes.

Hikers use them to track range traveled.

Knitters use them to track rows knitted.

The sliding bead abacus goes way back to 1100 BCE!!!

Maybe even cave men used bead counters to track their habits!

You can make custom counters with as many beads you need for your habit.

Or you can buy standard golf bead counters and if you need more beads, just clip several counters together.

You can use smiley face beds too... for amplifying your habit-building EMOTION

You can also use beads with letters or numbers or other symbols. Get super creative!

Happy success tracking!
