I am [Beeminding](http://blog.beeminder.com/easythings/) my YouTube Watch Later playlist. It’s a manual entry goal with a mild slope of -5/week initially. I started 2 months ago and have less than a third of my list remaining. All in all this has been a resounding success.

I recently enabled the [new autodialer](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/test-the-new-autodialer/9961), but I’ve since turned it off. The videos remaining are mostly longer in length (up to and over 1 hour) and enforcing the same actual slope as in the beginning would be unrealistic. I like the manual control that a mild slope + manual ratcheting gives you and I’ve come to appreciate the [staircase-like](https://blog.beeminder.com/staircase/) look it produces.
