The Rootmates blog
Longer pieces about the part of habit tracking that happens on day eleven, when nobody is watching.
Last updated
We write here when there is something worth more than a paragraph: why a tracker that worked all week stops on a Tuesday, what the research on habit formation actually says once you read past the headline number, and what changes when one other person can see the list. Every piece carries the date it was written and links the studies it leans on, and nothing here quotes a statistic we could not find the paper for.
