I broke a streak on technical reasons.

I try to maintain a streak of writing every day on 750words.com because it helps me keep track not just of work but also of my mood, and journaling in general helps. Sometimes I mark a few days as "days off" because I know I won't have time to journal or write, and it's technically possible to do this *during* the day itself. Which I have done before and it worked.

I did this yesterday late at night while playing a board game with family and it *failed* and I'm *mad as hell*. Which is DUMB and I'm also mad at MYSELF for even bothering to CARE this much about something which is objectively UNIMPORTANT.

Sometimes gamification creates problems, not just solves them.

Oh, it's also worth noting that I make a point of almost never doing work!writing on the weekends, at least on Saturdays. This is to help me unwind and try to do it guilt-free. It's also because I'm unlikely to get work done regardless on Saturday, so my options are do nothing and chill, or do nothing and feel irrationally guilty. Normally I feel my daily words for the weekend with fic snippets, or mood journaling, or planning for the week.
