Try it in Mement
- Find the Habit in the Habits tab. Open All habits if it is not in Today.
- Choose Skip today for a deliberate daily exception, Pause for a break, or Archive when you want to remove it from active tracking.
- Reopen a paused Habit and Resume when ready. Find an archived Habit in the separate archived section and Restore it before its 30-day retention period ends.
- After changing the state, inspect Today and the Habit’s history to check that the action had the effect you wanted.
Skip one day
Skip today records an intentional exception for a daily goal. Use it when today is a planned break rather than an unrecorded day. Earlier progress entries remain in history. The skipped day does not count as a successful goal; choosing Skip is not a way to complete a Habit.
For a one-day interruption, use Skip today. For a recurring change, open “Schedule”. If Tuesday is no longer a practice day, open Custom, choose a weekly interval and select the weekdays you want to keep. Review the summary before saving.
Weekly and monthly amount goals do not support daily skip records: their target is evaluated over the whole week or month. Review the goal period before looking for Skip today. A daily schedule and a daily goal are different settings, even if both currently say Daily.
Pause a Habit you plan to return to
Pause removes the Habit from active tracking while keeping its setup and earlier entries. For a longer holiday or recovery break, this keeps a routine ready for later. Resume makes it active again using its saved configuration; review its goal and schedule if your circumstances have changed.
Earlier check-ins and resolved goals remain visible in historical Analytics ranges. Pausing ends the current open period at the time of the state change without turning it into a new failed period. An existing result that was already resolved is still part of the history.
If the Habit seems missing, open All habits and inspect its state. A future start date, a day outside the Schedule rule, or a Space with Show habits turned off can explain why it is absent from Today. Older Habits may also retain a flexible weekly quota that has already been met. Those situations do not require restoring an archived Habit.
Archive only when the retention period suits you
Archive removes the Habit from active tracking and places it in the archived section of All habits. You can archive from its row menu or swipe action. The definition and tracking history are kept for 30 days, after which they are permanently deleted.
To undo the decision in time, find the archived Habit and choose Restore from the row menu or swipe action. Check its configuration and history after restoring. Do not assume an archived Habit will remain available indefinitely.
Choose Pause if you want a long break with the Habit and its history retained. Archive is useful only when you accept the 30-day removal window. Permanent Habit deletion also removes its attachment records and stored files or photos. Keep any material you still need outside that Habit.
Before you finish
- Before skipping, check whether you need one exception or a different weekly schedule.
- Before archiving, decide whether you want to keep the Habit for more than 30 days.
- After resuming or restoring, check its start date, schedule, history and appearance in Today.
