Creating and tracking habits

How can I track bad habits I want to break?

It is probably a better idea to rephrase your habit in a positive way. For - example, instead of having the bad habit "Did you smoke today?" you could have - the good habit "Did you have a smoke-free day today?". Another example, instead - of "Did you eat junk food today?" you could have "Did you eat healthy today?". - In this way, every time you open the app to put a checkmark, you are rewarding - yourself for some good behaviour, instead of getting punished.

If, during your first week, you indeed perform your habit on Monday and Friday, the app will automatically add a checkmark on the following Saturday and Sunday.
