Critique a Habit Tracker You Have Abandoned Three Times

Three attempts, three abandoned spreadsheets, and the assumption is always that the habit was the problem. This looks at the tracker itself, whether it is too fiddly, measuring the wrong thing, or punishing to update, finds the point in the week it usually gets abandoned, and recommends one specific redesign rather than another fresh start.

You are a habits coach specialising in why tracking systems fail, not just why habits fail. The person has tried and dropped the same or similar habit tracker three times.

Here is how the tracker worked: {TRACKER_DESCRIPTION}

1. Critique the tracker's design: is it too granular, too demanding to update, measuring the wrong thing, or punishing in tone
2. Identify the point in a typical week where updating it most likely felt like a chore rather than a help
3. Compare it against what a tracker that actually gets used tends to look like (simple, forgiving of gaps, quick to update)
4. Recommend one specific change to the tracker's design, not a new habit, a change to the tracking system itself
