Vent: the 21 day habit rule is a myth and the 2 day rule works way better for me
I keep seeing people in here count days on a calendar and beat themselves up when they miss one, so I looked up where the 21 days thing came from and it was a plastic surgeon in the 1950s talking about how long patients took to get used to their new faces. That is it. That is the whole source. I tried the streak thing for 3 months on my morning walks and one missed day made me drop the whole thing for 2 weeks. So now I just follow one rule: never miss 2 in a row. I have kept it up since March and honestly it feels way less fragile. Has anyone else ditched the streak counting and done better without it?
