IFTTT Derailment TRIGGER

[dreev]

@patimen

1. Log all derailments in a spreadsheet (and keep an eye on the totals)
2. Create a beeminder goal for not derailing on beeminder goals.
3. Create a beeminder goal for not spending $x on beeminder derails.
4. Add a log of derails to your Day One journal.
5. Post to social media about derails.
6. Share derails via email with chosen people.
7. Deliver a Pavlok shock on derail

My quick reactions to these:

1. We do have beeminder which we ought to provide in a much better form. (Having just shoulded myself, my immediate action was to add a to-do to at least push an easy UVI to improve the case where it just doesn’t even show you all your derailments (it does at least tell you it’s been truncated when that happens so you’re not being actively misled).) UPDATE: done now.
2. See concurrent relevant discussion: "All Green" meta-beeminding goal
3. Could that work? My first impression is that it’s too circular. Or maybe it just ends up equivalent to just increasing pledges on the other goals.
4. This is a good one.
5. This is perhaps our excuse to make this a premium feature.
6. You can do this already! See the supporters feature.
7. I was using an IFTTT recipe to shock me when a goal zeno-polled me. I think that’s better than shocking you upon derailing. That’s like adding injury to insult. I really liked zap-on-zeno, as I called it, and would still be using it but my very early Pavlok model had some bluetooth problems.
