SECTION 05 · HABITS

The streak engine

One habit to build, one to kill, and the grid that keeps score in public, to you. This is the room your 7 AM text will be defending every single morning.

You will leave with: A streak grid with a target on it

STEP 01

Before you answer

The streak grid on your home screen is about to become the loudest thing in this app. Thirty squares. A square lights up when you answer your morning questions, and only then. There is no other way to light one.

So pick habits sized for bad days. The version of you that matters here is the tired one, because the motivated one was never the problem.

STEP 02

What you should see now

The grid now reads like a score: one square lit, a target beside it, twenty nine to play.

One more rule, and it is a kindness: one missed day a week does not kill the streak. Life happens weekly. The grid marks the miss amber instead of dead. Two misses in a row is not life anymore, it is a decision, and the grid goes honest about it.
