What This Planner Does
This planner suggests a restart size from missed days, available time, and perceived difficulty. It focuses on restarting the loop, not judging the lapse.
Planning Rule
The goal is to complete a credible next action today and review consistency soon.
Worked Example
If you missed 4 days, have 10 minutes, and the habit feels moderate, the planner may suggest a 5-10 minute restart and a 3-day review window.
Use The Result
Write the restart action as one visible behavior: for example, walk for 8 minutes, open the document for 5 minutes, or prepare tomorrow's cue. Then check consistency after the review window.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after missing habit days?
Restart with a smaller action that can be completed today, then review consistency over a short window instead of trying to make up every missed day.
Should I double the habit to catch up?
Usually not. Catch-up pressure can make the restart feel bigger and easier to avoid. A smaller repeatable action is often more useful.
Is this a motivation test?
No. It is a planning tool that turns missed days into a smaller next action and a short review window.
