I have finally been able to form a habit that I wanted for more than a few decades and the book which helped me finally get it was "Awaken the Giant Within" by Anthony Robbins. This was my third or so reading of the book and this time it clicked! It's a bit dense book which seems to have aged well (and you may have to look past some of marketing for his other events).

"Tiny Habits" by BJ Fogg is another one which I find very useful. Just the basic idea of having tiny/baby steps to take is a powerful one.

"Loop Habit Tracker" app is a great app to keep track of your habits especially the ones where you want to record yes/no responses. It's free app available on android (I am still looking for something similar for iPhone for my wife!).

There is basically copy paste iphone app of “Loop habit tracker”: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1471303896

I’ve spent so much time trying to find Loop replacement and somehow stumbled upon this one. You can even use exports from Loop with some script I found on reddit.

It works ok, but I would love official Loop app for ios.

Streaks is similar on iOS, but unfortunately not free.

Thanks for the suggestion. One time payment is not a problem for such apps (though not a big fan of subscriptions). Will try it out.

Can Loop data export be used in Streaks?

if you don't mind sharing, what was the habit?

Getting up early in the morning! It's not a big deal for those who can get up easily, but I struggle to get up even at 8 AM and then have to rush things. I have also tried "The 5 AM Club" by Robin Sharma and excellent "The Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod but to no avail. Currently, on a 57 day streak! Please don't ask what time I get up as it's still late from the point of view of morning people :)
