New Year, New Resolution and hopefully New Me!!
The design goals for the same were-
- Small form factor
- DIY and easy to code
- Multiple habits in One!
So, I took a raspberry-pi (😍) along with an Adafruit Bonnet (Its a add on board with screen and a couple of buttons).
I wrote some code which basically shows
- Today’s Date
- Number of days left to the Next New Year’s (This is configurable though) — This helps me stay on track with a constant reminder if I am doing well or not!
- List 2 habits that I want to keep a track of.
- Show me the progress for the last 7 days. (X means Yes, — Means No)
The way this works is I click up arrow (habit — 1) and right arrow (habit — 2) everyday if I have done them in the previous day. I like to keep this in my washroom near my toothbrush. This way I can update the daily log. I tried keeping it near my bed, but I think that’s way too much pressure to handle the log every night!
The code for the raspberry pi is kept here.

Feel free to send a PR or clone it to improve its working! Some of the next goals that I want to integrate in this are
- Make the tracking Icons cuter
- Add a quote of the day at the empty place on the screen
Special thanks to Simone Giertz (do follow her on YT) and I hope she gets well soon!
