Automation: Never skip twice in a row

Under Settings > Automation section, add new automation type.

When enabled, all 2+ skips in a row become fails.

This feature is expected to work well with the other automation when auto-marking as skipped (2nd skip and more will be auto-marked as failed instead, if both automations are enabled).

Examples

1. No impact on single skips

Before: ✅ ✅ ✅ SKIP ✅ SKIP ✅ ✅
After: ✅ ✅ ✅ SKIP ✅ SKIP ✅ ✅

2. Two-in-a-row become fail

Before: ✅ ✅ ✅ SKIP ✅ SKIP SKIP ✅
After: ✅ ✅ ✅ SKIP ✅ SKIP FAIL ✅

3. More than two-in-a-row all become fail

Before: ✅ ✅ ✅ SKIP SKIP SKIP SKIP ✅
After: ✅ ✅ ✅ SKIP FAIL FAIL FAIL ✅

We all skip days. Again, that's normal. If you skip a day, breaking your so hardly accomplished long chain, don't worry. Forgive yourself and start a new one as soon as possible. I can't stress enough how important it is to not skip twice. everyday helps in that regard with reminders.

According to a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, missing any single day of a particular habit has no impact on your long-term ability to stick to the habit

This is why the most important thing is not to prevent mistakes altogether, but to avoid making a mistake twice in a row

You will miss. Life flips your plan. The rule that saves you is simple. Never miss twice.

It is so important that you don’t skip two days in a row, that a rule had to be made about it! The thing is, there is no getting around it, if you skip doing something twice in a row, then the balance switches in that at that point you will have “not” done the habit more than you “did” it. Now, that’s something you don’t want to make a habit of.
