## Formulas

### Completion Rate
```
let total_logs = length(prop("Log Entries"));
let completed = length(filter(prop("Log Entries"), current.prop("Completed") == true));
if(total_logs == 0, 0, divide(completed, total_logs) * 100)
```

### Current Streak
```
// Count consecutive days completed from today backwards
// Complex: Requires checking last log entry, then previous day, etc.
// Simplified: dateBetween(now(), prop("Log Entries").max(prop("Date")), "days") == 0 ? increment : 0
```

### AI Score (Overall Habit Health)
```
let completion = prop("Completion Rate");
let streak_bonus = if(prop("Current Streak") > 30, 20, if(prop("Current Streak") > 14, 10, 0));
let consistency = if(completion >= 80, 25, if(completion >= 60, 15, if(completion >= 40, 5, 0)));
let recency = if(dateBetween(now(), prop("Last Log Date"), "days") <= 1, 10, -10);
completion * 0.5 + consistency + streak_bonus + recency
```

## Real-World Examples

### Example 1: New Year's Resolution
1. Create 5 new habits: Meditation, Exercise, Reading, Water Intake, Sleep Schedule
2. Set frequency to Daily, target to compete by end of January
3. System creates daily log entries automatically
4. After week 1: AI identifies meditation boosts mood
5. After month 1: Show progress - 3 habits at 80%+, 2 below 60%
6. AI recommends: Drop one struggling habit, focus on winners

### Example 2: Habit Stacking
1. Morning routine established: Meditation → Coffee → Reading
2. Add new habit "Take Vitamins" - pair with morning coffee
3. System recognizes stacking opportunity
4. Correlation analysis shows stacked habits have higher completion
5. Suggest similar opportunities for other habits

### Example 3: Crisis Response
1. Stress period identified (low mood, low energy for 3 days)
2. Many habits broken due to obstacles marked as "Health"
3. AI suggests: Temporarily pause 2 less important habits
4. Recommends shifting focus to stress-relief habits (meditation, exercise)
5. Once stress passes, help re-establish paused habits

## Getting Started

### Step 1: Define Your Habits
1. List 3-5 habits you want to track
2. Set realistic frequency and targets
3. Write motivational "Why" for each
4. Set start date (today or soon)

### Step 2: Set Up Daily Logging
1. Create today's log entries
2. Test logging a completed habit
3. Check streak updates
4. Review dashboard view

### Step 3: Configure Automations
1. Set up daily log entry creation
2. Test streak tracking automation
3. Enable notifications for milestones
4. Set up weekly report schedule

### Step 4: Review Insights
1. Check AI recommendations
2. Review correlation analysis
3. Look for pattern insights
4. Adjust habits based on data

### Step 5: Establish Routine
1. Pick consistent daily check-in time
2. Weekly review (ideally Sunday)
3. Monthly assessment and planning
4. Adjust as needed

## Best Practices

1. **Start Small**: Begin with 3-5 habits max; add more gradually
2. **Be Specific**: Concrete targets (e.g., 30 min, 2 miles) vs vague (e.g., "exercise")
3. **Log Immediately**: Log completed habits same day
4. **Honest Tracking**: Mark incomplete even when disappointing
5. **Weekly Review**: Spend 15 min each week reviewing data
6. **Stack Habits**: Attach new habits to existing routines
7. **Obstacle Tracking**: Note obstacles to identify patterns
8. **Celebrate Wins**: Acknowledge and celebrate streaks
9. **Forgive Breaks**: One missed day isn't failure; refocus
10. **Evolve Slowly**: Adjust targets based on realistic assessment

## Psychological Insights

### Streak Motivation

- Morning routines are often easiest to establish

### Obstacle Identification
- Common obstacles: Time, Motivation, Environment
- Different obstacles need different solutions
- Track obstacles to identify patterns

### Identity Shift
- Habit tracking helps identity shift (I'm someone who exercises)
- Visual evidence of consistency reinforces identity
- Regular review strengthens conviction

## Advanced Customizations

### Habit Dependencies
- Create related habits field
- Track habits that support or conflict
- Optimize daily schedule

- Link with mood tracking apps

## Troubleshooting

**Q: Streaks seem wrong**
A: Verify daily logs have correct dates. Check formula for streak counting.

**Q: Too many habits to maintain**
A: Start with 3, add more after establishing routine. Quality over quantity.

**Q: Not seeing patterns in data**
A: Need minimum 2-4 weeks of data. Review obstacles and mood correlations.

**Q: AI recommendations not helpful**
A: Check you've logged mood and obstacles. More data = better insights.
