I tried going "no zero days" for 90 days straight == here’s what actually happened

Everyone talks about "no zero days" like it’s magic. I actually did it for 90 days (minimum 1 productive thing every single day, no excuses).

Here’s the raw truth:
• The first 2 weeks felt amazing
• Week 3-5 was pure hell (motivation died, but habit carried me)
• By day 60 I was doing way more than the minimum without forcing it

Biggest surprises:

  1. My biggest wins came from the smallest daily actions
  2. I failed publicly a few times but still kept the streak alive
  3. The real benefit wasn’t productivity -- it was self-trust

What’s your experience with minimum daily habits? Did it stick or crash and burn?

(If anyone wants my exact tracking method, I’ll drop it in comments)
