Habit tracking without the streak trap
Most habit trackers fail because one missed day resets the streak to zero, and starting over feels worse than not starting at all.
Count the days you did it instead. Twelve days this month is twelve days, whether or not they were in a row.
Choose two or three habits and make each so small it feels almost silly. Two minutes of stretching counts. Review the month without judgment: a 60% month is information, not failure.
