Similar for me. You make me think of a special-purpose calendar, that shows pairs of days. Then, your streak remains unbroken by just doing it every second day.

Similar for me. You make me think of a special-purpose calendar, that shows pairs of days. Then, your streak remains unbroken by just doing it every second day. One could improvise this, by marking off two days at a time. Could generalize to n days (e.g. 3 days, or weekly). The demotivation of an "unbroken streak" is a kind of perfectionism, of noting what has not been done rather than what has. Interesting, because I think the idea itself is a way to combat perfectionism, in that Jerry notes done having written something (not how much). When it does work, perhaps it works by turning perfection against itself. Perhaps there is a way to do the same judo trick on the demotivation you note?
