Principlev1
Never miss a habit twice consecutively, because single
Never miss a habit twice consecutively, because single misses have no measurable effect on habit formation while consecutive misses begin eroding automaticity.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Habits as Context-Response Associations (habit formation) and Habit automaticity develops along a logarithmic curve — (habit automaticity follows logarithmic curve). The principle prescribes the specific threshold (never two consecutive misses) based on empirical research showing this is where habit degradation begins, while single misses are absorbed as noise.
