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? ๐ข
That thought got me thinking about how frustrating it can be to lose a streak, especially when youโve worked hard to keep it going.
Here are some reasons Iโve seen (or experienced) for losing streaks:
1๏ธโฃ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ด ๐๐ป: Life gets busy, and itโs easy to forget.
2๏ธโฃ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ช๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐ช๐ถ-๐๐ถ: Those offline trips can sneak up on you.
3๏ธโฃ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ: Not having a set check-in time for Product Hunt.
4๏ธโฃ๐ก๐ผ ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: Missing reminders when you're caught up in other tasks.
5๏ธโฃ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ ๐๐น๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐: Rare, but they do happen.
6๏ธโฃ ๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ณ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Forgetting when the streak resets.
>>>Streaks may reset at ๐บ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ป๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ (๐ฃ๐ง).
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?
