Habits
All or Nothing Streak Quitting
All or nothing streak quitting abandons the whole habit after one broken chain—prevented with partial credit and weekly completion metrics.
All or nothing streak quitting abandons the entire habit program after one broken chain—if I cannot keep the streak, why bother this month. It couples identity to a number instead of the behavior.
Prevention: partial credit, weekly completion percentage, and never-miss-twice drilled before day one.
