Good Habits take time to develop and Bad Habits take time to stop, this is why we developed the ProductiveMuslim Habitator to help you keep track of good habits (and bad habit)s and help you develop (or destroy) them. [Click for the tutorial]

The concept is pretty simple: Write down up to 5 habits you want to develop (or destroy) under the relevant headings in our worksheet. We have 3 main areas of habits:

  1. Spiritual Habits, e.g. Praying Tahajjud each night, fasting every Monday/Thursday, avoid being late for Salah, Praying in the Masjid.
  2. Physical Habits, e.g. Eating breakfast each morning, Jogging 20 minutes each morning, going to the gym.
  3. Social Habits, e.g. Visiting an Orphan/Widow offering help, Doing Dawah to 1 person at least per day, giving Charity, avoid getting angry/irritable.
The ProductiveMusim Habitator

Once you’ve described your habits, give yourself a tick for each day that you’ve stuck (orabandoned) the good (or bad) habit. Each tick = 1 point. The higher the total number of points, the more likely you’ll continue (or discontinue) with the good (bad) habit. Aim to get over 20 points each month for each habit. Ideally, you should aim for over 25 points!

    Alhamdulillah, great!
    For this year resolution I create a salah tracker, nothing great like this, just a basic mic word table. But it’s good to know that I’m not alone in using table to track things. LOL.
    My friend also advised me manage my time according to the salah time, which I think, is a great way to manage the day. :)
    Thanx!

    Great idea. i have a question about whether we keep track of actions for only a month or we always add them with the new habits that we want to form just to keep ourselves in check. Or does doing that defeat the fact that it’s a habit that it should be second nature by then ?

      Once you get the hang of them and they are part of your “unconscious” habit, you don’t need to add to them anymore. If you find yourself lapsing people and loosing the good habits, you can always add them later. But to be on the safe side, keep the habit on the habitator for at least 2 months.

    thanks for the great job bro! May Allah reward.
    I have a suggestion: if you could help us by giving a list of the good habits that we should adopt in order to be a productive muslim, and common bad habits that we need to get rid of (which many people may not be aware of).
