But isn't consistency in the long-run the fact that you have actually
*completed* them?
So, the thing here is the concept of habit. So, from what I could
understand, a habit has to happen during a period of time and have a
deadline.
In this case, IMO, a weekly review is a habit, even though it does not
happen daily, it still has consistent period to be respected (1 day, every
seven days), and a deadline (the very same day). Or habits need to be daily?
Thanks!
