@moezark:

Step 1: Create a “do more” goal.  
Step 2: Once created look for the “Settings” tab  
Step 3: Under the settings tab you should see something called “deadline”  
Step 4: Set that to be 6am and click save

Oh okay. So you can delete that goal and start a new one and the follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a “do more” goal.  
**Step 2:** Right after selecting the “do more” button there is a checkbox that says “Start this goal with extra leeway (safety buffer)”. Click it and make the value “0”

I have a “do less” goal, with a (pretty generous) rate of 30 minutes, defined as “number of minutes after 5am I get up”.
