Choosing your habits, and what counts as one
A habit in Meadow is any small thing you want to do more often. There's no list you have to pick from, and Meadow never tells you what your habits should be.
Things people track
- Exercise: a walk, a workout, stretching, yoga, a mobility routine
- Reading
- Drinking water
- A morning or evening routine
- Taking medication or supplements
- Getting outside
- Five minutes of tidying
- Practising an instrument or a language
- Calling someone you’ve been meaning to call
Meadow was built by someone tracking daily rehab exercises after a back injury, so movement is where it started. It is not limited to that. Any habit works the same way, and there’s no exercise content in the app.
How many to pick
As many as you like. One or two is a good start, because the point is doing them rather than listing them. You can add more once the first ones are sticking.
How long a habit has to be
There’s no minimum and no timer. You decide what counts as done, then tick it off. Two minutes counts. On a day when two minutes is all you have, two minutes is the whole thing.
Doing more than one in a day
Each habit you tick off grows its own flower, so two habits in a day means two flowers. Your day count still goes up by one, because it counts days, not flowers.
Changing your habits later
You can change what you’re tracking whenever you want. Nothing that’s already in your meadow is affected: every flower you’ve grown stays exactly where it is, and your day count doesn’t move.
