Rant: my habit tracker made me feel like a failure 3 weeks in

I set up this great habit tracker in February with 6 habits, color coded, the whole thing. By week 3 I had missed 4 days of stretching and 2 days of water logging, and the empty boxes just stared at me. I trashed the whole spread and switched to a weekly mini tracker instead, but now I wonder if I'm just avoiding the accountability. Does anyone else ditch the fancy system when it stops feeling good, or do you push through the guilt until it sticks? How do you handle a tracker that becomes a shame spiral instead of a tool?

Ditch it fast and keep moving, guilt never built a single habit.
