How to Track Your Five Daily Prayers Consistently
Simple ways to stay consistent with the five daily prayers: know your local prayer times, plan around them, log each prayer, and build steady habits including sawm and nafal.

Know the times for your exact location
Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha shift daily and vary by latitude, so a fixed timetable drifts through the year. Use times calculated for your location and calculation method, and check them against your local mosque if you follow a specific convention.
Plan your day around the prayer windows
Treat each prayer window as a fixed appointment. Look at where the next window falls before scheduling meetings, commutes or workouts, so prayer is planned in rather than squeezed in.
Log each prayer right after you pray
Marking a prayer done immediately keeps the record honest and takes seconds. Over a month the log shows which prayer slips most often, which is usually a scheduling problem you can fix.
Add sawm, nafal and sadaqah gradually
Once the five daily prayers feel steady, add optional acts one at a time: Monday and Thursday fasts, nafal prayers, or a weekly sadaqah. Track them alongside your main prayers so they build on the same rhythm.
