    Breaking Bad Habits (Not Just Building Good Ones)

    Breaking a bad habit is easier when you track abstinence the same way you track a positive habit — every day you avoid the behaviour counts as a completion, and a visible streak makes the cost of relapsing feel higher than the momentary reward.

    LemTask's habit tracker doesn't care whether the behaviour is *do more* or *do less*. Flip it around.

    Setup

    1. Create a habit named for the *absence* — *No social media before 10am*, *No snoozing alarm*, *No sugar today*
    2. Set it to daily
    3. Mark complete on days you succeed
