GarphenGate Habit Scorecard
Free gateway skill from the Habit Forge bundle by GarphenGate.
The lightest tracking format that still produces usable weekly data.
Procedure
- List active habits. Cap the scorecard at three; if more are offered, ask which three matter this month and park the rest on a bench list.
- Define done per habit in binary terms the user can verify in two seconds ("one page read" — not "made progress").
- Pick the medium the user already touches daily: paper on the fridge, a pinned note, one spreadsheet row. Never propose a new app.
- Generate the card in the contract below, pre-filled with the user's habits and anchors.
- Set the fill-in moment: attach marking the card to an existing anchor (same trigger as the evening routine, or the habit itself).
Output contract:
WEEK OF ____
Habit (2-min version) M T W T F S S
1. ____ (after ____) . . . . . . .
2. ____ (after ____) . . . . . . .
3. ____ (after ____) . . . . . . .
Mark: X done · O missed · — not planned
Week note (one line): ____
Rules
- Never add metrics beyond the X/O/— marks and one note line; measurement burden kills tracking faster than missed habits do.
- Never treat an O as needing an excuse; the card records, the weekly review interprets.
- Days the habit was never planned get a dash, so rest days don't read as failures.
- If the card itself goes unfilled for a week, shrink it to one habit before changing anything else.
Degradation
If the user has no habits defined yet, build the card with one placeholder row and point them to designing a proper two-minute habit first; a scorecard without a designed habit tracks noise.
