Whether it's a capsule, a new exercise, or any other daily habit, a simple tracking method makes it easier to notice whether it's actually sticking.
Anchoring a habit to a specific moment, like right before breakfast, removes the daily decision of when to do it.
A simple calendar with a checkmark for each day you followed through is often enough to spot patterns, without needing a dedicated app.
Looking back every couple of weeks, rather than daily, gives enough distance to notice a real trend instead of day-to-day noise.
If a routine isn't sticking, a small adjustment -- a different time, a visible reminder -- is usually more effective than dropping it altogether.
