Maybe not weird but certainly hard. I’m working on a way to build better habits. I know there’s a million apps out there that present the typical log a habit behaviour however I see this as mostly punishing.

A positive streak can easily turn into a negative streak.

At the moment I’m brainstorming with a google sheet and a few manual tweaks. I believe there’s a way to help people/myself build a better life by removing the nasty things (like smoking) and grow the nicer things like healthy eating or exercise. But our desire for instant gratification and our lofty goals get in the way.
