Ok - I did it! Restarted the goal so I have to do 42 hours in the next 8 days, starting tomorrow. I gave myself a break today.

Here’s the new graph - the isolines look weird after restarting though.

This time I’m not going to use slips of paper - let’s see how it goes.

I also moved the deadline to 9pm so we’ll see how that goes. I’m gonna try something where if I have an appointment or sleep problem and I get it done by midnight instead of 9pm it doesn’t count as a derailment. I posted [here](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/thoughts-on-this-policy-derailment-not-legit-if-i-have-a-meeting-or-sleep-problem-and-do-it-by-the-end-of-the-day/6751) asking people’s thoughts. Bracing myself for flames 🔥

I put a little sticky note to remind me.
