Hi! I’m Keegs! I got started with this kind of thing on Stickk, using it to work on math problems 3x/week for year. Currently have an aggressive weight loss goal on there as well that’s working swimmingly. Heard about Beeminder a month or so ago and I’ve been hooked. I’m a language nerd and currently in the process of converting to Judaism, so I’ve got some Hebrew-related goals, and I’ll probably add more Jewish-themed ones as I go (a little Mishnah every day? “Do something at the synagogue” once a month? Something like that). I’m also a software engineer and serious-book reader. Currently trying to use Boss as a Service to compel me to pretend to be in a Kant seminar. Smattering of [current goals](https://www.beeminder.com/koneida): - hsentences: Read over “language island” sentences in Hebrew for some minutes per day, testing myself on meaning, adding mnemonic flashcards if I miss them. - hebac: Practice a small amount of English to Hebrew sentences every day. Same sentences list as above, just in reverse. - withdraw: I think this is clever. It’s a tax on withdrawing from savings. I tick it up once per day if _yesterday_ I did _not_ transfer money out of savings. If I miss even one day, I derail, so it functions as a gradual tax on savings usage. - anki: do some anki once a day! - deepwork: do at least one short deep work session every workday! - sightwords: practice a stack of sight words with my daughter at least once a week - worksummary: every couple weeks I have to give a presentation on work I’ve done, and I often forget the details. This goal is to write a brief summary once per work day of what I did that day. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/introduction-thread-getting-to-know-you/11539)._
