Streak Buffer Day Policy
A streak buffer day policy budgets rare passes that preserve counters when minimums or freezes are met—not ad hoc excuses.
A streak buffer day policy grants a limited pass—one per fortnight or two per month—that preserves the consecutive counter when life genuinely blocks the full habit, if you still run the minimum or use an official freeze token. Policies must be written in advance; ad hoc buffers become daily excuses.
Different from unplanned lapse: buffers are budgeted.
Common questions
-
How is a buffer day different from a freeze?
Terms overlap—both spare the counter. Buffer implies a small monthly budget; freeze often means saved tokens. Either needs a minimum rep or explicit rest rule to stay honest.
