I was scrolling through Product Hunt, feeling pretty proud of my streak (as it increasing day by day :). Then it hit me, what if I accidentally miss a day? 😢
That thought got me thinking about how frustrating it can be to lose a streak, especially when you’ve worked hard to keep it going.
Here are some reasons I’ve seen (or experienced) for losing streaks:
1️⃣𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝗴 𝗜𝗻: Life gets busy, and it’s easy to forget.
2️⃣𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗶-𝗙𝗶: Those offline trips can sneak up on you.
3️⃣𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲: Not having a set check-in time for Product Hunt.
4️⃣𝗡𝗼 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Missing reminders when you're caught up in other tasks.
5️⃣𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗚𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀: Rare, but they do happen.
6️⃣ 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Forgetting when the streak resets.
>>>Streaks may reset at 𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 (𝗣𝗧).
For instance, if you're in Lahore, Pakistan (Pakistan Standard Time, UTC+5), midnight PT would correspond to 1:00 PM your time.
Have you ever lost your streak? What happened?
