Divit has no habit tracker. That’s the part that makes it work.

Put them in one list and the broken promises sit right next to the real work. Opening the app starts to mean being told you failed. So you stop opening it — and you don’t just lose the habits. You lose the tasks too, and the tasks were never the problem.

That is the mechanism, not a preference and not a roadmap gap. The separation is what keeps the task system usable on the mornings the habits went badly.

This is GTD, not a departure from it

Allen’s method has no habit tracker. A recurring habit is not a next action, and putting one on a next-actions list is a category error. Divit leaving habits out is an extension of the doctrine rather than a compromise with it.

A streak is a stake. A score is a measurement.

The harder objection: if guilt is the problem, isn’t any measurement guilt? No — and the difference is precise.

A streak’s power comes from loss aversion. One miss doesn’t merely record a miss, it destroys sixty days you already earned. It is retroactive and disproportionate, and that is exactly what makes it coercive. A percentage lowers today’s number and leaves yesterday’s alone. Tomorrow starts fresh at its own number.

So the position isn’t anti-measurement. It’s anti-coercion — and anti-co-location. A habit score is a fine thing to look at in the place you went to think about habits. The same number inside your task list is the thing that made you quit.

So: two apps. One holds what you have to do. One holds what you’re trying to become. Neither can see the other’s score, and that is the feature.
