Eight-Day Streak

What if I can’t show up? What if I break my streak? That’s an indicator. That’s information. It might tell me that I didn’t prioritize writing time on a busy day and I should reconsider scheduling. It could be a period of crisis outside my control. Or it could indicate the beginning of illness. Having an indicator earlier could signal me to start preemptive measures before the condition worsens, lessening the severity and how long it lasts.

I’m not going to look at breaking my streak as failure. Breaking the chain is inevitable. I’m choosing to take it as valuable information that informs me of my current state. “Knowledge itself is power.” —Francis Bacon
