Question
Is consistency or perfectionism better for habits?
Consistency wins, and it is not close. Perfectionism ties your progress to an unbroken record, so the first slip feels like failure and often ends the habit entirely. Consistency asks a gentler question: over the last stretch of days, how often did you show up? That leaves room for real life, where missed days are normal and returning is the whole skill.
Streak-based apps quietly push you toward perfectionism by resetting to zero on one miss. Aspra measures consistency instead, as a rate over recent days that dips a little when you miss and recovers when you return. The goal is steady progress you can keep, not a flawless run you cannot.
