A habit-tracking app where you nurture a tree. Missing a habit occasionally won’t harm your tree, but if you neglect it for too long, it will begin to deteriorate. However, if you consistently care for it daily, your seedling will grow into a large, strong tree.

Compared to a sapling (a new habit) how fast would the larger tree (the old habit) die? Maybe a full grown tree does not a represent a habit but instead a routine or a ritual. Or an accomplishment?

Good thought! Once a habit is repeated enough, it becomes deeply ingrained, almost automatic. This makes it harder to break, like a tree that takes longer to wither. A sapling grows quickly but is more fragile.
