Hello,
I’m looking to use beeminder and historically I respond well to reporting my own progress against myself. However I have a concern if money is on the line:
What’s to stop me from just… saying I achieved whatever it is I want to achieve?
Right now if I were to create any goals for myself it would be:
- Lose 0.5 - 2 lbs a week
- Write 500 - 1000 words a day of creative writing.
For weight loss I think I’ve got it covered. I have a Fitbit Aria 2 - as long as I make sure I stand on the scales every day (which I can do), then we’re good to go. But what about writing? What about other goals I may come up with in the future?
I know there’s integration into certain apps that let you write, but if it gets to 11:58pm and I need to write 1000 words by midnight, what’s to stop me from copy and pasting from the nearest wikipedia page?
Any advice on this would be much appreciated!
