Keystone habits
I think Strides would benefit from allowing users to designate certain habits as keystone habits—the small number of habits that are most important to their day.
For example, my keystone habits might be waking up on time, going to bed on time, and exercising. Other habits, like practicing guitar or doing laundry, are still important, but they aren’t as critical.
Right now, a day is either green if every habit is completed or blue if even one habit is missed.
I’d love to see an additional status. If all designated keystone habits are completed, the day could display a different color to indicate the day was still a success, even if a few lower-priority habits were missed. If every habit is completed, it could still receive the existing “perfect day” color.
This would better reflect real progress and help maintain motivation. Missing one minor habit wouldn’t make an otherwise excellent day feel like a failure.
