How do I track a habit?

What a habit needs

From habits, create one. Required:

1. A name.
2. A frequency.
3. A target count, from 1 to 100.

Optional: a description, a colour, and whether it is active.

The four frequencies

Daily · Weekly · Monthly · Custom

The target count

This is how many times within that period. "Three times a week" is a weekly habit with a target of three.

It matters because realistic habits are rarely daily. "Write every day" breaks in the first busy week; "write three times a week" survives it.

Streaks

Every time you log the habit, the streak grows. The Life OS overview shows the sum of your active streaks as a single figure.

Deactivate rather than delete

A habit you have stopped can be switched off instead of deleted, so it leaves your active figures while its history stays. That is better than deleting: a habit you dropped for a month and came back to is not a new habit.
