Three-tier habits: how to keep a streak on bad days
All-or-nothing habits break on the first bad day. Tiered habits bend instead.
The three tiers
| Tier | Reading example |
|---|---|
| Tiny | Read 1 page |
| Normal | Read 10 pages |
| Stretch | Read 30 pages |
Rules
- Any tier keeps the streak.
- Tiny must be so small that you can do it when sick, tired or travelling.
- Do the tier that fits the day and move on.
Freezes
Sometimes a day is simply missed. A freeze bridges one missed day so one bad day does not erase months.
DayLoop habits use exactly these tiers and earn a freeze every 7 days of streak. Add a habit.
