How can I make tracking my net worth a habit that I stick with?
Consistency comes from making it easy and scheduled. Pick a fixed cadence, monthly or quarterly, and put it on the calendar as a recurring appointment. Use the same tool and the same list of accounts every time so numbers stay comparable, and keep a simple running log or spreadsheet so you can see the trend, which is the motivating part. Don't obsess over daily market swings; the point is the long-term line, not the noise. To reduce friction, gather your account logins or a tracking tool in one place ahead of time. Celebrate crossing milestones to reinforce the habit. Anchoring the review to an existing routine, like the first weekend of the month, helps it stick.
