Experiment: Using Beeminder for the sting, but not as the cue

@zedmango
I’m skeptical of this part, though - see Do habits exist? for why. (tl;dr: habits might not exist as we think of them, and they may not become automatic through sheer repetition.)

For me, a number of initially beeminded things have transitioned to habits. That’s a definite win for me - I would far rather automatically do something than have to be nagged. Sometimes I still beemind them (for quantified self reasons), but often I’ll stop doing so, because they are now part of the daily routine.
