Any ideas on an automated goal for (personal profile) Facebook posts/comments?  
I need to cut them down dramatically 🙂

I’m not sure about comments, but you could setup IFTTT recipes for posts. The IFTTT channel separates out post types (status, link, photo), so you would have one applet for each that could add 1 to the same Beeminder Do Less goal.

I’ve setup a goal with the following sources

- 1 point for each post via IFTTT
- 1 point for each comment (manually)
- 1 point for each 15’ via Zapier/Rescuetime Alerts
