The bamboozling yourself line cuts deep. I did the same thing with gym routine for years, telling myself I was just "taking a break" until one day I couldn't climb two flights of stairs. The habit tracking thing feels silly until it actualy works. What I found is that tracking itself creates a feedback loop that the brain starts craving, kinda like checking social media but healthier. Flossing on a glacier is peak flex tho.

100%! Habit tracking is shockingly effective - that's a good point about how it hacks the same feedback loop for addictiveness as social media. And yeah, I couldn't help myself with that flex lol
