I've gone one step further and have built a simple CRUD app for all the things I'm tracking. I find this easier to update from my phone than a spreadsheet. I'm a big believer in 'streaks' as a form of motivation and I've got simple views in my app for representing this for habits. I use the same app for more general tracking of my life, it's not just for habits. Having all the data in a database makes querying and understanding this data easier for me. I'm not suggesting this is for everyone. It only works if you know a framework pretty well. I know rails and it has a pretty good scaffolding feature to bang out forms and basic views in minutes making it faster than creating a spreadsheet for me.
