My coworker made me rethink my entire habit tracker setup

I was showing off my bullet journal to Karen from accounting last week and she asked why I color in the same 5 habits every single month. She said, "You've been tracking 'floss daily' for 2 years straight, when does it stop being a habit and just become busywork?" It hit me hard because she was right, I was just filling boxes without actually checking if those habits still mattered to me. Has anyone else had someone call you out on a section of your journal that made you totally scrap it?

Wait, did she also ask you why you track flossing but skip the dentist every year?

@faith_schmidt makes a fair point about the dentist part. Read something last month about how people treat habit trackers like a completion game instead of actual personal growth. Maybe have a month where you stop tracking the old ones and see if they actually stick without the checklist.
