Tracking your habits provides two crucial benefits: awareness and accountability. When you track a behavior, you become more conscious of it. And the visual record of your consistency creates a powerful motivating force through what psychologists call the endowment effect.

Consistency matters more than perfection. Missing one day does not ruin your habit. What matters is getting back on track the next day. Research shows that missing a single day has no measurable impact on long-term habit formation. Missing two days in a row, however, starts a new pattern.
