✅✖️Check-in: Please replace the demotivating word “Fail” with a more neutral word like “Hide” or simply the symbol “X”.
The word “Fail” is today used in check-in when we want to Hide a habit we don’t have time for today. This focus on Fails contributes slightly to the feeling of failure, which is demotivating.
Focusing on our success and success rates is motivating, but focusing on our failures and misses is the opposite.

It is also an option to have a choice in settings for alternative words or symbols to replace “Fail”. Something to consider!🙏 🙏
This is for all of us that are conscious of the bad impact of continuously admitting Fail has on self-esteem and motivation.
To choose to hide habits there is no time for today doesn’t necessarily mean that we have failed. It could also mean that something else actually is more important today, and we take responsibility for that.
Still, we today must admit “Fail” to be able to hide the habit. (Since it normally not feels fair to get awarded for hiding a habit, I find that “Skip” is most of the days not relevant outside of special circumstances.)

To admin: Please don’t merge this post with the “Didn’t Do” post, because they are not the same. While that post’s intention is very good, the “Didn’t do” wording proposal is terrible and won’t get any traction. However, you are free to merge that post under this one. Thank you very much 😊
