I do struggle sometimes to let hobbies be hobbies as a result of having such a clear path for general improvement, but just like you express in your writing here, the daily practice/routine is immensely useful. Congrats on a great year!

The empty squares are a visual reminder listening to yourself, to your body, and realizing you are going to make negative progress in terms of morale or burnout by pushing for the square that day.
The simple act of giving yourself permission to not fill the square also seems to mean less unfilled squares for me. By checking in, something clicks that reminds me that this IS a goal I want to achieve and that you want to buy in for another day.

I know if I'd do it every day I'd eventually burn out or allienate people around me. I can get pretty caught up in something when I'm interested in it and forget the world around me.
So I'd just say daily consistency is not necessarily everything, it's not like a physical activity. You have to think a bit longer term and ask: do I know more today than a month ago? Am I still enjoying it?
