I had 50 day streak and then life happened and now I'm back to 1 day streak and it feels discouraging somehow. It's been like that on all apps for me.   
Anyone else with the same problem?

I experienced that awful feeling so I placed the widget on my phone's home screen. That way, I can't miss it, and I never miss a day

Hey, it’s just a number ✌️

For me, losing a streak can be a useful marker, showing that I got down a slump for a bit and I need to restore things.

(The realistic view is that no one can maintain a streak forever anyway.  So, the wise thing to approach this is to actually accept that losing a streak is part of the game, and just go on…)

I felt bad when I lost mine too but then it turned into determination because I don’t want to feel like that again so I put down the simplest tasks to accomplish even on my hard days so I can keep the streak, it also helps that I make the app into a jumbo widget on the main page of my phone so I remember more often
