Streak!

What is this nonsense?

My journaling app tells me I’ve just extended my journaling streak to 99 days. No pressure there, then!

Seriously, though, I resent being gamified like this. I enjoy the idea of being consistent enough to write something in my journal for many consecutive days, but I’m damned if I’m going to have some stupid app make me fret about missing a day and going all the way back to zero!

I’m in half a mind to skip tomorrow deliberately just to remind it who’s in charge. (But I know I won’t.)
