Breaking the streak.

As a streak for a task grows longer, the resistance to doing the task decreases significantly. The habit develops and it becomes much easier to maintain the streak than to break it.

But inevitably, if we get too attached to the streak, the chances are high that it would break, that we would face an off day.

The thing to consider here is that it’s the action that matters and not the streak. The only thing to do is to go back to work without emotion the next day.

The more we try to make up for the off day, the more difficult we make it for ourselves to continue.
