Monthly Goal Demotion Rule
A monthly goal demotion rule lowers targets when adherence or recovery slipped—restoring achievable wins instead of chasing broken goals.
A monthly goal demotion rule lowers or pauses targets when adherence stayed under sixty percent, life context shifted, or recovery metrics worsened while you chased an old number. Demotion restores confidence and honest streaks—not failure.
Remove shame language; rename goals to maintenance mode when needed.
