• Save the goal and track your progress as you complete challenges related to it.

5. Accountability Tracking

Accountability features in Improvemynt help you stay on track with your goals by setting streak targets and creating specific follow-up actions if you fall short. Here's how to set it up:

5.1 Set Your Target Streak

• While creating or editing a goal, look for the Target Streak field.
• Enter the number of consecutive days you aim to stay on track with this goal. For example, if you set a streak of 7, Improvemynt will track your progress daily, ensuring you maintain this streak.
• If your active streak meets or exceeds this target, you’ll receive a success notification, acknowledging your progress.

5.2 Define Custom Accountability Actions

• Optionally, add one or more Custom Accountability Actions to follow if your streak falls below the target. These are actions you agree to complete if you miss your streak.
• For example, enter “Do 10 push-ups” or “Write in my journal” to serve as follow-up actions if the goal is not met.
• If your streak drops, Improvemynt will notify you to complete these actions, ensuring you stay accountable.

5.3 Tracking and Notifications

• Improvemynt will monitor your streak progress and automatically notify you if your streak reaches your target (success) or if it drops below the previous day's progress.
• On success, you’ll receive a congratulatory message.
• On failure, Improvemynt will notify you of your custom accountability actions, encouraging you to follow through.

This feature helps you stay committed to your goals by reinforcing positive behavior and prompting corrective actions if needed.
