Sort of. But there’s still years worth of advice on these forums telling people to make many focused goals instead of large aggregate goals. E.g.
I’d definitely beemind them separately.
Keep doing what you’re doing for yoga, that seems to be working.
Have another goal/graph for swimming.
You can dial the swimming road up in the summer when the water is nicer and down in the winter.
You’ll need to be a little mindful of watching the weather reports and when your swimming eep days are going to come up so you don’t need to go swimming when the conditions are undesirable.
By mixing them together you lose the ability to dial each individu…
Yes, swimming could be tracked separately

Or tracking certain things via meta goals:
I don’t have a complete solution, but for the strength training side
powerlifting competitions have the Wilks Coefficient
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilks_Coefficient for normalizing strength
goals across different sex/sizes/ages. From what I’ve heard, Crossfit
throws a bunch of random things together and is designed to make you tired
rather than helping you track progression.
A gym visits per week goal achieved what I wanted. Once I’m on a consistent
gym schedule, I’m already going to…
You’ve (or @bee has) already blogged about this before: http://blog.beeminder.com/catchup/
But I’m sure revisiting the topic would not hurt.
I suspect the solution might lie in meta-beminding. Ideally this would be automated[1] and the second goal is automatically populated based on inputting data in the first.
Main goal: Exercise, where you log the distance you run.
Meta goal: Go for a run 6 times a week. (automatically populated when you enter the main goal data.)
So you can have a 4 day…
Hi David!
That’s pretty awesome. I’ve beeminded my beeminding using a less ambitious
(and sadly manual) idea. It’s taken 2 forms over time:
JFDI Before Lunch : I have to despatch all of my beemergencies in the
morning. Danny used a more extreme version, in which he didn’t eat anything
before getting his beemergencies out of the way. Here’s how I described it
at the time:
I have a meta goal (pjh/jfdi) that encourages me to get beemergencies out
of
the way before lunch. It started life a…
Now these historical posts are actively bad advice for anyone who’s new. Unless we’re just going to assume everyone’s a highroller and will be premium (or that 3 is too few goals to do anything with anyway?).
