Great stuff in here! And it’s getting me excited about polishing up
[1] TagTime to be usable by non-programmers. [2]
What’s the blocker here? Note that I use the android version of tagtime and
it seems pretty usable to me (though there are a few things I’m considering
investigating how hard they are to do because I find slightly frustrating).
You’re right that it
works beautifully with Beeminder. Though so does RescueTime, which has
the non-programmer demographic covered nicely.
Essentially everything I’m interested in tracking with tagtime happens away
from my computer and isn’t about app usage(the only exception being
spending less time on twitter), so that’s somewhat less interesting to me.
Btw, we’d be delighted
to take more guest blog posts, which you could crosspost on your blog
if you wanted.
Sure, I’d be happy to do that (but would definitely also cross post to my
blog)
Speaking of which, new non-guest post by Philip Hellyer
last night: How I Use Beeminder | Beeminder Blog
Yeah, I saw. Bits of this post has been brewing in my head for a while, but
that was part of the trigger for writing this up (though I’d also seen a
draft of that post which it hadn’t changed much from)
Speaking of Beeminder+TagTime, did you know about this handy tool I
made: tminder.meteor.com
Ah, that’s neat. I think my usage patterns are such that I don’t have to
worry too much about the tag time randomness because I head off eep days
well before they occur, but I had been considering writing something that
like for my own interest so good to know I don’t have to 
[1] Or for someone to polish up. I know multiple people (including our
own Alice Monday) have rewritten TagTime for their own purposes but we
still don’t have a version packaged up well enough to be easy for
non-uebernerds to use.
[2] Random thing that I thought was well said: “It is 100% OK to just
do a thing until tagtime pings and then stop. The maths works out.”
I was pretty happy when I realised that one. I’d previously been worried
about the consequences of tagtime affecting behaviour and distorting its
results, so it was nice to check the maths and realise that that couldn’t
really happen on average.

This link will self-destruct in a few days, but in case anyone is
interested
and/or has feedback I wrote a thing about how my beeminder/tagtime habits
are evolving:

It’s a bit rambly at the moment, as now that I can actually commit to a
certain publishing rate I have a much stronger incentive to not just
drop my
blog post drafts on the floor, so I’m trying this weird thing where I
actually write a first draft and then edit it. I suspect on editing this
might turn into two blog posts, one on what I think are good beeminder
habits and one on the actual specific technique being described. A final
version of at least one blog post extracted from this will probably go up
some time in the next week.
