Bye bye streak
Posted by Alisa on June 20, 2021 at 7:35 amI’m a bit annoyed that my streak is reset to 1 because of not logging in on a Saturday, even though the website doesn’t offer new content on the weekends. First weekend it did that. I usually use weekends to play other stuf, explore songs etc. What are you all doing to keep the streak alive, log in just for the sake of it?

I look at this from the other side of the coin. I always thought that the daily login streak reflected going to the site on a daily basis; I was surprised to learn otherwise. So as one of those people who use the daily streak as my own reference point, since it doesn’t seem to actually do anything other than giving myself a pat on the back, I was happy to learn that the count is now more accurately reflected.
But, that is just my two cents on the matter. I am sure others will feel like you.

I see your point but how accurate is it really if it also counts a 2 min login to browse the forums while guitar gathers dust in the corner… When I first joined, I thought it was only counting the times I hit “complete” because I had 5 days that weren’t counted when I was doing the 30 days course instead of the dailies and took more than a day per lesson. Maybe it was back then, early days for the website.

Hi @Alisa 👍, On weekends, I like to work within the “Skills” section and/or go into the Forums – particularly the “Play for Us” and watch (and comment) the performances. If I’m working on a skill, I usually spend more time “on the site” than I do when watching performances😎

Even logging in daily isn’t enough to keep the streak alive.

I sharpen up everyday with the warm up exercises. For me it is an exercise in speed, precision, accuracy, and tension removal. I guess I never gave much weight to the streak counter but I can see how it might be a useful tool when developing a consistent playing habit. I would probably loose my mind if I couldn’t play for a day, I think my habit is established. There are many instances where I am not able to log on when I am off the grid (like middle of the pacific ocean off grid) but I still play. The observed benefits of daily play have made it really easy for me to continue with the practice.
Are you able to use the annoyed feeling to your advantage?

Thanks @jumpinjeff, I think the lesson learned here is not to pay attention to the streak counter 🙂 Numbers on websites are not the goal here
