Streak Goals

Something like a combination of the “Habit streak counter” and “Link Habit Progress to Goal Progress“ feature requests. Admittedly might be redundant; I wanted to get the idea out to see what others think/open up discussion about it/possibly get ideas running about how to make this idea better.

Example: I want to start a habit of walking every day. I set the streak goal to 66 days. Only once I complete the habit 66 times IN A ROW will the goal be complete. If I miss a day before hitting the streak goal, the streak starts over, as does my progress.

The habit could remain despite the goal being complete and just continue adding to the streak, except I’ve surpassed the goal and officially made it a “habit”. Or you could complete it forever if it’s become so automatic that you no longer need to keep track of it.

This is based on the idea that it takes a certain amount of time doing things consecutively and consistently to truly build a habit, and might be a good way to visualize your progress in developing a habit.

(You could in theory track this yourself already, but I figured having it built into the app might be helpful for some people who struggle with consistency and motivating themselves to continue with certain habits.)
