Re: Positive reinforcement: How is paying yourself $5 different than paying Beeminder $5 in terms of the funds you have available? I really like the idea of being charged every week and paid back for accomplishing a goal. I think that’s genius. You’d get **both** positive and negative reinforcement. I want that as a Beeminder feature, it’s a double motivation hack.
