My 6am journaling streak died on day 11 because I left the pen in my truck
I started writing 3 pages every morning before coffee back on March 2nd and it was going great until day 11. That morning I reached for my pen and realized I'd left it in the cupholder of my truck overnight, so I just sat there at the kitchen table for 10 minutes doing nothing and felt dumb. I ended up grabbing a dull pencil from a junk drawer and wrote anyway, but the whole thing felt off and I skipped the next 4 days. Turns out the habit wasn't really about journaling at all, it was about that one specific pen being where I expected it. Does anyone keep a backup set of their habit tools in a second spot, or do you just accept that missing one day means starting over at day 1?
