Pro tips

  • The 2-minute rule: if an item feels too big, shrink it. "10 min movement" can start as "put on workout clothes".
  • Stack habits: "After I drink water, I step outside for sunlight." Chains beat isolated items.
  • Track the streak, not the time. Identity > timer.
  • Weekend grace: you can reduce to 3 items on Saturday/Sunday without breaking the streak.
  • If you fail, fail forward: missing once is human, missing twice is a pattern worth stopping.
