Hot/cold contrast therapy is tracked in minutes spent in the sauna, and minutes either in a cold plunge or cold shower (that's most of the 'ones). Everything else gets a check-mark or an 'X' for yes or no. At the end of the month I can calculate totals or averages."

I still use the jars spread for these activities in general, but I added a sub-section to my habit tracker grid that gives me some colour and data.
