In Keep the Process (KTP), activity counters are your tools to track personal growth, habits, and progress in various life areas. These counters let you log actions in a way that's easy to follow and meaningful over time.

With different counter types, you can track everything from simple numbers to more complex feelings or detailed notes, so you have a full view of your progress.

Here's an overview of each activity counter type available in KTP and how they can work for you.

1. Number counter

With the number counter, you can add a brief note alongside each logged number. This is helpful for adding context or reminders about each entry, so you can understand not just how much you did, but also what you felt or thought about it.

Best For

• Contextual Tracking: Add details like mood, location, or thoughts to each entry.
• Reflection: Write brief notes to remember what was happening around each activity.

Example

Track your daily exercise and note how you felt afterward, like "felt energized" or "low energy today," to see patterns.

2. Session type counter

The session type counter lets you log a period of time for an activity with an optional note. This is helpful for tracking several sessions of an activity and see how you use your time overall.

Best For

• Time Tracking: Track how long you spend on an activity over time.
• Comparative Analysis: See how your time usage changes over time.

Track the time spent reading a book and see on average how long it takes you to read certain types of books.

3. Feeling type counter

The feeling type counter allows you to log your emotional state or general feelings in a structured way. This is particularly useful for tracking emotional health or identifying patterns in how activities impact your mood.

Best For

• Emotional Tracking: Log emotions like happiness, stress, or calm to understand patterns.
• Mental Health: Track how certain activities influence your mood.

4. Scale type counter

The scale type counter lets you rate an activity or experience on a scale, such as from 1 to 10. This is helpful for measuring satisfaction, intensity, or difficulty over time, giving you an understanding of how things change.

Best For

• Rating Experiences: Track things like energy levels, stress, or satisfaction.
