Better option for oldest-item do less goals, today?

I am going to do something that is much more robotic than I normally can handle, as an experiment.

I’m going to set up one of these do-less oldest-item goals like this:

  • A do-more, where the datapoints are epoch seconds, representing the date of the oldest item. If the inbox is empty, I’ll enter the current datetime in epochseconds, and have a comment.

  • The rate will be 86,400 per day, offset from current epoch time by X, where X is my desired oldest inbox item age.

  • I’ll set the lanes to be 1 “day” wide.

Rate changing may be a nightmare, and I know now I wish there was a way to interpret epoch seconds as ISO8601. I will see what other robot snares there are there, and see if this is reasonable.
