An Area is a group, or folder, of habits, letting you organize your tracking around the different parts of your life instead of treating every habit as one flat, undifferentiated list. Group your exercise, water intake, and sleep habits under “Health”; your deep-work and email habits under “Work”; your journaling and meditation under “Mindfulness” - however your life actually breaks down. Areas exist to help you prioritize. Instead of a single Daily Score covering everything at once, you can zoom into one category and see exactly how that part of your life is going.
