A study streak is simple: do at least one study task every day and don't break the chain. It works because after a few days, protecting the streak becomes its own reason to show up.
Set the bar low
The biggest mistake is a streak that's too hard. "Study 3 hours a day" breaks by Wednesday. "Finish one school task a day" can last all semester. You can always do more, but the minimum should be easy.
Pick a trigger
Tie your streak to something you already do: after dinner, after your last class, before you open social media. A fixed time makes it automatic.
Make the streak visible
A number you see every day ("12-day streak") is powerful. Put it somewhere you'll notice.
Plan for bad days
You'll get sick, travel, or have a brutal day. Decide ahead of time what counts on those days, like 10 minutes of review. Some systems give you streak savers that cover a missed day, so one bad day doesn't erase weeks of work.
If you break it
Start again the same day if you can. The goal isn't a perfect record, it's showing up more days than not.
