Beware the streak

Don’t let it hamstring you

How do you feel about habit streaks?

Whether it’s marking an X on the calendar, or checking off the Reminder, there’s value in building a regular habit.

But sometimes, that streak can become a trap.

I once had a streak for almost a year.

Then I broke it...

I fell off the habit for a bit. It took a while, but then I worked back into it.

And for almost a year, I was consistently reminded that I was still behind my last streak.

What a struggle!

Beware the streak. Use it if it works for you. Or use something else.
