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

NormalRead 10 pages
StretchRead 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.
