A study streak should survive a bad week

A streak that resets after one missed day teaches the wrong lesson: consistency is fragile, so a setback might as well become a week off. Real learning has exams, illness, work shifts, and plain bad Tuesdays.

I prefer a recovery rule over a perfect chain. Miss a session, then return with the smallest meaningful action: retrieve one idea, solve one problem, or name the next gap. The habit worth reinforcing is coming back.

What would you measure instead of consecutive days?
