Following from the previous post, by Sheikh Tawfique, in which he details steps to developing good habits during this blessed month of Ramadan, I wanted to share with you a detailed way of developing any habit, pioneered by Productivity blogger, Mark Shead, called the Habit List.

You can read all about his method here, or even better, enroll to his e-mail course (found on the same page), in which he sends you an e-mail each day that helps you towards developing any habit.

The basic idea of the Habit List is as follows: you print this pre-formatted single A4 sheet (provided by Mark) which you write on it all the "habits" you want to develop (or stop doing) over a course of a month. Each day you perform the activity (or not do the activity) you give yourself a tick. At the end of the month, you'll have a visual understanding of how well you're keeping to developing a habit (or stopping a habit).

Although this sounds basic, but I found this to be highly effective. Give it a try, and let me know if it works for you.
