I agree! Habit seems to be well-suited to chronic illness because it offers some of the structure of unconditional commitments, but is also flexible enough to give users ways to deal with flare-ups / emergencies / critical spoon shortages. I wonder whether we could do more in that direction.

For example, it's useful to be able to temporarily disable dailies that you just can't do, but it's a drag to have to do them all manually, and then undo the changes later. What if you could turn sets of dailies on and off based on tags, or something similar? What if you could rank your dailies in order of importance, and then use a "how much can I deal with today" slider to automatically turn off the ones below a certain threshold? For people who are more seriously ill, could Habit interface with social tools for coordinating helpers or caregivers? (e.g., allow them to see which of your tasks you haven't been able to do lately, and offer to help.)
