It's that time of the year again… It's almost time for your New Years' resolutions!
Don't forget to have fun and take it easy. It's the only way to keep up your momentum through to the end of 2025!
I made a free Google Sheet template based on the momentum system in Polar Habits. Enjoy!

I don't like habit streaks. They backfire as soon as the inevitable happens and I miss a day.To solve that, I created a "Momentum" system that lets you bounce back and recover after a broken streak. I made an app for it (called Polar Habits,) but I've also created this FREE template with Google Sheets, implementing the same system (albeit more basic.)Enjoy!

I'm the maker, and you're totally right. It would be great if some habits could be tracked automatically. I'll be building a native mobile app soon, and will do my best to remove the friction of logging habits!

Thanks… and… damn!
I know how that feels. I had a similar experience with closing the "rings" on my Apple Watch. Kept it up for well over a year, missed one day, and I never found consistency again!
Would love to hear about your experience once you've had a chance to try out the app (if you do.)

Last year, I realised a fundamental flaw with habit streaks after I broke my 100-day meditation streak.I stopped meditating altogether because I couldn't find the motivation to start again, from zero.That's silly!Why would I think I was starting over from zero? It's not like all that progress I'd made was lost. But, that's how streaks work, so zero it was!Being an indie hacker, I decided to do...
