That time a streak helped me through a bad breakup

Gamifying getting over it

Gamification¹ and break up advice both have a solid place in the self-help universe. The former for its power in shaping habits, and the latter because, well, break ups are awful and we’d do pretty much anything to start feeling better.

However, you don’t see much overlap between these two. I would never have put them together myself, except that I recently remembered a time when I used a streak to help me stick to some of the most solid break up advice out there (imho).
