Hot take: I hit 500 days in a row logging my word count and I think the streak was a waste
Started in March 2023 on a dare from my sister to see if I could write 250 words daily for a month. It turned into 500 straight days and a spreadsheet I check every night at 9pm. But last Tuesday I missed a day on purpose and felt nothing. Now I think the number kept me going more than the writing did. Is a streak a tool or just a leash? Want to hear from folks who broke one.
Wrote 250 words a day for 500 days and the only thing I got was a spreadsheet and a mild panic at 8:59pm. Sounds like the streak was the hobby and the writing was just along for the ride. Give it a week off and see if you even miss it.
