A streak helps some people show up on low-energy days. It also makes one missed day feel like failing. Has anyone set a rule to avoid that, like 'five days a week, no streak penalty'?
For some people the burnout risk is real. Tying the habit to a fixed time block rather than a streak number gives a calmer routine. It depends on whether the streak motivates you or stresses you.
One approach people use: count weeks, not days. Hitting the target matters more than an exact streak, and one bad day stops feeling like the whole thing collapsing.
