Habit streaks suck. Momentum FTW

Last year, I realised a fundamental flaw with habit streaks after I broke my 100-day meditation streak. I stopped meditating altogether because I couldn't find the motivation to start again, from zero. That's silly! Why would I think I was starting over from zero? It's not like all that progress I'd made was lost. But, that's how streaks work, so zero it was! Being an indie hacker, I decided to do something about it, so I invented my own system (and built an app for it.) I share how the system works in the linked post. I also encourage you to try out the app. It might help you finally stick with that habit! Would love to hear your thoughts!
