What if I forget to log a day?​

Can I track multiple challenges at once?​

Yes! Track as many challenges as you want. We recommend starting with 2-3 to avoid overwhelm.

How detailed should my tracking be?​

As detailed as helps you! Some users just check ✓, others write paragraphs. Do what works for you.

What counts as progress?​

You define success criteria when creating a challenge. As long as you meet your own standards, it counts!

Can I edit past entries?​

Yes, within 24 hours of logging. This helps correct mistakes while maintaining integrity.
