Thoughts on “Streaks”

Hey all! I’ve noticed lots of language learning apps and methods use streaks as a motivator (ie don’t miss a day or the streak is broken). I initially thought this was a good way to keep learners on track, but now, I notice that I will only study to keep the streak, not because I necessarily want to, and therefore am not really learning as much. Does using a streak for motivation work for you? If not, what do you do? Ignore it completely, or set your own schedule (presumably with days off).
