A close second

The interesting result is often the habit just behind the winner. Here is how to read that gap.

Tied

If two habits land on the same number, the result says they tied. Do not let the order on the page crown a winner. Order is a layout. The numbers are the result.

A tie means this sitting did not pick. That is a finding. Your next real choice will show which habit you actually use when it costs something.

An example, not your result. The page calls this close behind. It does not pretend the top bar was the only story.

Close behind

A few points back is a second habit with a real claim. The page says “close behind” so you do not walk away with a cleaner story than the answers support.

Use the lead habit as the default and the close second as the backup plan. When the default stalls, switch on purpose instead of feeling inconsistent.

A clear lead

A wide gap is a clear lead. You can trust the name for this sitting. You do not have to hedge every sentence with the lower bars.

Check it once against the week. If the week disagrees, believe the week, and retake the quiz when you are not trying to win an argument with yourself.
