My habits have a variety of goal frequencies. That is, some of them would be good to do a few times a day, others can only be done once a day, and others might only be around once a week or less. None of my tasks ever really get "strong"; they all start the day yellow, every day. I started wondering what the "ideal" frequency is to build strong (consistently green or blue) habits, and did some spreadsheet calculations. My calculations assume that habits are completed on a regular basis every day, for enough days to reach a steady-state value. If I could, I'd adjust the half-life of some of my tasks to make the numbers more useful, but at least knowing the numbers helps to manage expectations. 
 * Less than ~1.2 times a day: Start every cron yellow. Finish the cron green on days when the habit is completed.
 * ~1.2 to ~2.5 times a day: Start and finish every cron green.
 * ~2.8 to ~5.7 times a day: Start every cron green. Finish every cron blue grey.
 * ~5.8 to ~14 times a day: Start every cron blue grey. Finish every cron bright blue.
 * More than ~15 times a day: Start and finish every cron bright blue.
