Yes!! Tracking momentum is so much more encouraging. I just started working out and stretching again this morning (after weeks of travel and not exercising), and it was nice to feel like I'm just "picking up momentum again."
I agree, this way of tracking seems much more motivating, not having to lose all progress because you missed a day.
I like this distinction between streaks and momentum. I've found streaks de-motivating as well, but this looks really useful. Thanks for sharing!
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!
