I don't know if I'm actually being consistent
Feeling consistent and being consistent are different things, and the only way to tell them apart is a record. Log what you do as you do it, then look back over four weeks and count. In EasyRoutine the week and month calendar show every log at a glance, and the Profile tab shows your Day streak and total.
Why your sense of consistency is off
Without a record, people judge consistency by a few vivid days. A great Monday at the gym makes the whole week feel solid; one skipped evening makes a good week feel like a failure. Both are guesses.
The feeling also lags. A habit that quietly faded three weeks ago can still feel like part of your routine, because you still think of yourself as someone who does it. A record removes the guessing: the days are either there or they are not.
What "consistent" should mean for you
Before you check, decide what you are checking against. "Every day" is rarely the right bar.
- Daily habits (a vitamin, flossing): most days of the week is a fair target.
- Habits with set days (gym on Monday, Wednesday and Friday): count those days only. A rest day is not a miss.
- Habits with no fixed rhythm (calling a friend, deep cleaning the bathroom): look at the gaps between logs instead. Are they getting longer?
Write the target down once. Otherwise you will move it each time you look.
A four-week check you can do anywhere
- Pick a window of four weeks. One week is too noisy; three months hides recent changes.
- Count per habit, not overall. For each habit, count the days it was done against the days it should have been.
- Compare the first two weeks with the last two. Steady, rising or falling tells you more than the total.
- Look for patterns in the gaps. All on weekends? All after late shifts? That is the part to fix.
If one habit is clearly falling behind, find which habit is slipping goes through that habit by habit.
Where EasyRoutine shows it
EasyRoutine does not calculate percentages or draw charts. It shows the record itself, which is what you need for the check above:
- Month view. Open the Calendar tab, pick the routine and switch to Month. Each logged activity is a colored dot on its day, so four weeks fit on one screen. Tap an activity's tile above the calendar to highlight its dots: they get bigger and move to the front, while the others stay visible.
- Week view. Each logged entry with its time, useful for spotting whether a habit drifts later and later.
- Profile tab. The Day streak counts days in a row with at least one log of any activity, and Completed counts all your logs ever.
The streak is one number for the whole account, so it tells you that you showed up, not that every habit did. The month view is the better test of consistency.
Make the record trustworthy
The check is only as good as the logs. Log right after you do something, not in a batch at night. If you forgot, add the log on the right day with the real time, but only for things you really did; logging later explains how. Logging is free, as are the calendar and streak.
If you want the app to show what was planned as well as what was done, Premium scheduling adds faded planned entries, so an unlogged planned day stands out. See did I actually do it yesterday?.
Common questions
Does EasyRoutine show a consistency percentage?
No. There are no percentages or charts. The month view shows each logged day as a dot, so you can count directly.
Is the Day streak per habit?
No. It is one streak for the account, counting days with at least one log of any activity. Use the month view to judge one habit.
How long should I track before judging my consistency?
About four weeks gives a fair picture. A single week can look much better or worse than usual.
Do rest days break my consistency?
Not if they are planned. Count each habit against the days it is meant to happen, not against every day.
