The goal isn't the habit — it's becoming the kind of person the habit proves you are. Each completion is one vote for that identity.
Vague plans fail. Pin the habit to a precise time and place, or stack it onto something you already do without fail.
Bundle the habit with something you genuinely want — anticipation of reward is what gets you moving.
Scale it down until it's almost too easy to skip. On hard days, the two-minute version still counts — showing up is the vote.
Compound handles this one: streaks, votes, badges and the compounding curve give every completion an immediate payoff — and never missing twice keeps one slip from becoming a pattern.
Missing once is an accident; missing twice is the start of a new pattern. Nothing about today is decided yet — the only rule now is never twice.
Clearing site data, switching browsers, or opening the app somewhere else starts you from zero. Keep a copy somewhere you trust.
Copying is the reliable route: some browsers block downloads from an embedded page like this one. Paste it into any text file and save it.
