This is also a constant challenge for me, and I haven’t found a decent way around it!
But I think I’ve found that, no matter what my rates are, I’m always derailing at about the same frequency. I’ve had times when my rates are set really low and times when my rates are set super high, and I’m always riding that line and derailing about the same amount (I think!).
I also beemind two meta-goals related to this:
- Overall urgency load across all my goals.
- Days above the line for my top ten goals.
They each helped at first but lately they don’t seem to help much at all… The novelty wears off! But I still find them helpful for historical visibility.
