Day 19: Habit Jar Part 1

I've recently been looking for a tracking system for my habits. I used to have a whiteboard which was diveded into boxes for all the days of the month and I checked the boxes when I completed a habit or task. I abandoned this system because it didn't work for me and I don't like using apps. However, today I read an article about a girl who got inspiration from the book "Atomic Habits" ( I think that I should read that book), and she decided to make a habit jar. A habit jar is a system where you put goal markers (like paper clips, beads, coins or whater you like) into a jar when you complete a task or habit. I'm going to try it out for my meditation habit.
Changing the subject, the weather is very cold today so I hope that it snows in next days. There are some places where it snows in Mexico and I live near of one of those places. I really would like to see the snow this year.

It just makes more sense to order it this way; the way you put originally is extremely formal, and from archaic English language (think 1800s British!)

“Tracking system” is something we’d never say (it just sounds a bit of a weird saying) so I’ve changed it!

I used to have a whiteboard which wasthat I diveided into boxes for all the days of the month and I checked the boxesm when I’d completed a habit or a task. I used to have a whiteboard that I divided into boxes for all the days of the month and I checked them when I’d completed a habit or a task.

That was = the whiteboard came like that, divided into boxes. That I = you divided it yourself, like you drew boxes. I’m not sure about the context, so I’m just going to assume you’ve drawn these yourself. - ‘the boxes’ can be shortened to ‘them’ - I had + past participle

I abandoned this system because it didn't work for me and I don't like using apps.


I abandoned this system because it didn't work for me and I don'tidn’t particularly like using apps. I abandoned this system because it didn't work for me and I didn’t particularly like using apps.

I have said ‘particularly’ to make it more formal/posh, concurrent with your style. It would be ‘didn’t’; even though your dislike could apply to the present, you are talking of a past experience. You are justifying your past abandonment, and because of this, you need to maintain past tense in your justification (a.k.a being that you didn’t particularly like the system)!

I abandoned this system because it didn't work for me and. I know there are other options, like apps, but I don't like using appsthose. I abandoned this system because it didn't work for me. I know there are other options, like apps, but I don't like using those.

Without this clarification it makes it sound like your system you abandoned was an app.

However, today I read an article written by a girl who decided to make a habit jar. She had originally gotten inspiration from the book "Atomic Habits" (I think that I should read that book).

I was going for subject fluency. In the original sentence, you jumped from explaining her -> you -> her again, and so I’ve changed it to make it flow and more native like/natural.

A habit jar is a system where you put goal markers (like paper clips, beads, coins or whatever you’d like) into a jar when you complete a task or habit.

It would be ‘you’d like’; because you are talking about a hypothetical situation and thus this requires the subjunctive (you would like).

I'm going to try it out for mwhen I complete my daily meditation habit. I'm going to try it out when I complete my daily meditation.

This just makes more sense, is more natural as it gives more context to the goal/overall subject of the sentence. Of course you can change daily to represent the true goal, I just assumed !
