It’s there to prompt me to reach out to current or potential TaskRatchet users for interviews. ([If that describes you](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/interested-in-taskratchet-can-we-have-a-conversation/5291/8), go ahead and PM me and let’s talk!) ## New Goals - **[irl-evenings](https://www.beeminder.com/narthur/irl-evenings):** Created 2019-05-23. My counselor has been working with me to improve the quality of my sleep. Recently she discovered that I read newsletters on my phone while in bed. So, now I have a goal for staying off my phone an hour before bed. 😏 - **[tr-emails](https://www.beeminder.com/narthur/tr-emails):** Created 2019-05-21. This goal is somewhat ill-defined, but it’s supposed to keep me consistent with sending out summary emails to [TaskRatchet](https://taskratchet.com/) alpha users. It’s good enough for now. ## Derails - **[su-time](https://www.beeminder.com/narthur/su-time):** 2019-05-23. I didn’t sleep that well on my trip last weekend, and I had a bad night after returning, too. So I was super fatigued. And overwhelmed by the TaskRatchet alpha. Derailing on this goal felt like a big relief. ## Scheduled for Archive - **[bed](https://www.beeminder.com/narthur/bed):** Now that I have another goal for avoiding screens in the evening, and I’m trying to leave my phone outside my bedroom, having to use this goal is a pain. Usually when I stay up way too late, it’s because I’m zoning out on a screen, anyway, so hopefully the no-screens an hour before bed goal will be sufficient. - **[bic](https://www.beeminder.com/narthur/bic):** This goal became pretty pointless given how aggressive my work time goals have become. I may need it again the future, but for now it’s being archived. ## Overkill Top 5 - **walk:** 8. I’ve been trying out walking in the morning and the evening, as well as taking micro walks during the day when I become fatigued. All that ends up creating a lot of extra buffer on this goal. I’m kind of ok with that for now. - **tr-time:** 8. The alpha has meant I’m spending waaay more time on TaskRatchet than I was previously. Hopefully it’ll calm down in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I’ve retroratcheted. - **slick:** 8. I guess I’m ahead on this one because I gave myself a break on my trip and still dressed up anyway. And easy goals just naturally get more overkills because… they’re easy. 😛 - **deflate:** 6. Another easy goal that I’m consistent on, so it ends up getting a lot of overkills. I’m not sure I’m totally happy with how many overkills these easy goals rack up, but I’m not sure how to calculate the metric so they don’t. - **systems-upgrade:** 4. I have been doing a fair amount of upgrades. This feels deserved. _A skeleton of this summary was generated using a Python script and then carefully filled in by hand._ --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/narthurs-beeminder-journal/4945)._
