My habit tracker failed for 47 days, then I found the real problem

I kept failing my morning run habit tracker, marking X's through the whole month of February. Turns out I was putting the tracker on my daily log page, which I only check at night. Moved it to my monthly spread where I plan the next day, and I've hit 12 out of 14 runs since. Anyone else realize their tracker was in the wrong spot, not that they lacked discipline?

My buddy Jake had the same thing with his guitar practice logs. He swore he practiced every day but the habit app kept showing all these red gaps. Turns out he was logging on his phone at night but his practice happened in the morning, so he was marking it as missed when he actually did it. Once he switched to logging right after he played, his streak jumped to three weeks. He said the whole time it was just a time zone problem in his own head.
