I really dislike #streaks in apps, be it #gaming, educational or others. As long as the streak is going it's fine. But loosing a long streak, tends to really put me off the app. I just don't like using it anymore, because every time the streak is shown, I just get reminded of the streak I lost. There is apps, that I just will not use on the weekends and then start with a 0 streak every week. :⁠-⁠( I wish every app that used streaks would also offer a way to turn them off. #babbel #duolingo

Vibrant vertical streaks of yellow and green create a blurred, abstract impression. These are early morning reflections of riverside reeds interspersed with light mist on the waters of the Chobe River in Botswana.

An experiment with intentional camera movement in a forest in Slovenia. Vertical streaks in various shades of green and brown create an abstract forest scene, evoking a sense of motion and depth. The blurred lines suggest tall trees with light filtering through the canopy.

The Bad Habit of Daily Streaks

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The US has a culture of streaking. I don't mean running around naked at events. I mean of trying to do something daily for weeks, months or even years. As great as it can be, to develop consistent habits I believe that it can have a negative impact.

For months I wanted to get my daily streak of Duolingo, and eventually I got mentally tired and gave up, after 270 or more days in a row. With Kindle they encourage us to read daily which is great because reading is great, but it's detrimental because I think finishing a set number of books per month is healthier.

It's the same with blogging. Writing every day is great because we learn to think, and elaborate on ideas. It's bad too, because we generate a lot of crap, over the weeks and months of writing each day. It's worth highlighting that my decision to blog every day was to break my Facebook habit.

There was a time when Twitter and Facebook was about conversations with whom we would elaborate on projects either for work, or sports, or other. During the pandemic, especially, social media just became about wasting time. That's why spending an hour or two writing made sense. I believe that blogging is a healthy habit. "Doom Scrolling" as people call it is not.

WordPress and especially Jetpack encourages this bad habit too. Recently I noticed that my streak is going back up. I must have deactivated it for a few days.

I know of people who write a weekly, or irregular newsletter and I notice that sometimes it's just as mediocre as if it had been written over a few minutes rather than a few days.

If I had confidence in what I write I would start a newsletter on Substack or Medium but I prefer the freedom of a blog. With a blog I'm practicing the art of writing, and I'm exploring ideas. The irony is that people can read this post as an e-mail, if they choose to.

If I went to Medium and Substack I would be feeding the long tail of traffic for others, rather than gaining for myself. I would put up with more noise, without finding more engagement.

Having said this, these posts are now on Threads, Bluesky, as well as the fediverse, and with the fediverse people can comment and have a conversation natively.

I believe that writing every day is a good habit but I believe that it's better to read a certain number of books per month or year, rather than read daily. The Kindle app wants to trap us on their device, and in their library.

I need to stop giving in to streak rewards.

Duolingo is the most downloaded language learning app in the world, with its indefatigable green owl emblem and his obsession with streaks. But are people actually learning to speak a language fluently through it? Imogen West-Knights writes for The Dial about the purpose of Duolingo — is it just a money-grabbing time suck, or is it a vehicle for connecting you with cultures, and getting you out into the wider world? We want to know, how many languages do you speak fluently? Tell us in the comments where you're from, and how you learned your second/third/fourth language.
