Habits & Streaks

Build lasting routines by tracking consistency and celebrating progress.

Building Better Habits

Habits in Elysium are recurring actions you want to perform regularly. Unlike tasks that you complete once, habits reset and track your consistency over time. The key to forming habits is consistency, and Elysium helps you stay on track with streaks, reminders, and progress visualization.

Streak Tracking

Build momentum with streaks. See how many days in a row you've completed your habit.

Flexible Frequency

Set habits for daily, specific days of the week, or custom intervals.

Progress Stats

View your completion rate, best streaks, and trends over time.

Creating a Habit

1. Choose your habit

Click + and select “New Habit”. Give it a clear, action-oriented name like “Exercise for 30 minutes” or “Read 10 pages”.

2. Set the frequency

Choose how often: every day, specific days (Mon/Wed/Fri), or a custom pattern (every 3 days).

3. Add a reminder (optional)

Set a time to be reminded. Consistency is easier when you tie habits to specific times.

4. Start tracking

Each day, mark your habit as complete. Watch your streak grow and celebrate milestones.

Tips for Success

  • Start small - A 5-minute habit is better than an hour-long goal you never start.
  • Stack habits - Attach new habits to existing routines (“After I brush my teeth, I'll meditate”).
  • Don't break the chain - Streaks are powerful motivators. Protect yours.
  • Forgive yourself - Missed a day? Start again tomorrow. One miss doesn't erase progress.
