Looks like in a month or so, your easy-to-keep items will outstrip all others. Maybe the value should grow logarithmically over time, not linearly?

The streak count is not incorporated into the value associated to a task; it is an independent metric. But I'm not sure if this is what you were referring to. If not, can you elaborate? Thanks.

Yes, that was what I was refering to and I really should have thought of seeing whether the realized values match up with what I was thinking. I thought it was a neat idea to give yourself some incentive to keep a habit running once you've kept the streak up for a while.
