Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My habit lives buried in some app I have to remember to open, so it’s invisible exactly when I’d need the nudge
• I forget to mark whether I actually did the thing, so days slip by unlogged and I only notice gaps later from memory
• My progress is buried in some app I have to remember to open, so it’s out of sight and out of mind
• My calendar is packed with standing meetings and reports I’ve attended for so long I’ve stopped asking why
• My calendar is packed with standing obligations I only keep out of guilt or habit, and even when I’m not doing them they sit in the back of my mind
