#92Earlier quoted context omitted.
(Assuming that reply wasn't sarcastic to the core.) > Apps to encourage you to exercise are awesome business - they just aren't a way to actually become an exercising person but who really cares about that. Moral human beings with any sense of self-respect. Trade is about voluntarily exchanging value. I give you something (like money), you give me something in return (like an app that does what I need), we're both ha…
Many people don’t want to actually do something hard and unpleasant but get value from feeling like they’re getting organized and making plans to do that unpleasant thing later.
Sure, that's their weakness. Exploiting it for profit is still immoral.

#93I started regularly excercising every day, after I realized I could use it as a means of procrastination. I can seriously recommend it. Go for a run, if you're finding yourself putting off something with the intention of working when you get back.
Huh. Reading this made me realize I also use it to procrastinate. But I also find myself way more ready to be productive afterwards and some of my best thinking is done at the gym.

#94Streaks are often self-defeating. A few samples from the duolingo forums where this comes up frequently: https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/17598950/The-demotivation... https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/3705144/Streak-Breaker-Wh... https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/7927344/Lost-streak-and-m...
I had a several hundred day streak on duolingo, lost it and haven't opened the app since. Why would I, all my hard work is lost? I didn't actively think about it until I saw this.
I don't understand how you think your hard work is lost?
It is only lost in Duolingo but you have learned some of the language (I am assuming here).
