I love @byorgey’s script idea. I’m not as excited about a global take-a-break feature because I feel like you really should consider each goal individually. Some goals will have plenty of safety buffer to get you through vacation. Some goals (more social interaction, less facebook, more exercise, etc) you’ll make more than usual progress on. And some goals will be hard but still important. We never want a flat spot on our UVI road, for example, since we’re so proud of having averaged exactly 1 user-visible improvement for over 4 years now and want to maintain that streak indefinitely.
Something related I do think is important is a true break, like with an actual gap in the yellow brick road. The road would just resume at whatever your new value is. This is important, for example, for a weight loss goal, or an inbox zero goal. Yes, you can make the road slope generously up during the vacation but the road ends up very ugly that way. This is also related to the upcoming Road Editor feature. All of which is waiting till we finish the current batch of integrations and a reminders revamp.
