I’m not really a New Years Resolutions kind of person, but this sort of experimenting and trying new things is absolutely up my alley! I’ve been a bit stale with my beeminder goals over the last year or so (2024 was not my year) so it’ll be good to rethink some of them and see what comes up. Here is my metagoal, although I don’t know how to make it all cute and steppy like Nicky’s: newmonthresolution – lanthala – beeminder
January: beeminder
This is yet another variant on my “get my bedtime stuff done before bedtime” wish; I’ve given beeminder a lot of money over the years for those goals. This version is do-less, and I’ve started with “no more than 1 beeminder goal red at 8pm per two days”, which feels pretty doable. We’ll see how it goes!
Outcome: This worked fantastically! I added the additional quirk that if none of my (non-timed) goals are at orange, I can add a -1 instead.
February: -beeminding-orange – lanthala – beeminder
February is the start of bee season here, and I need to start checking my beehive for mites, adding extra boxes, and generally interacting with them as we get into our spring. I set the slope to once every 10 days currently, but I might dial it to once every 15+ days as things move along (generally, you want to inspect every other week if things are going well).
