Here is a project 240 update! ![Screenshot_20200506-151743](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/beeminder/original/2X/c/c18a252cee605c2120bb21d3e209353d3d24492e.jpeg) As you can see, there’s a big adjustment in the road today. I had YBHP off because it wasn’t working due to bugs. But I realized that the way it was going, I’d be a day behind on the goal, because I was edge-skating, staying on the top edge of the road! This seems like a [bug](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/whittle-down-goal-rate-is-too-slow-for-end-date/6689) in non-YBHP whittle-down goals. So at @phi’s helpful [suggestion](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/whittle-down-goal-rate-is-too-slow-for-end-date/6689/2) I enabled YBHP again, but it derailed me! I had to go to support to fix it - thank you Jon Courtney! I’d do an @thing here but I don’t know if he’s here on the forum like @shanaqui is. With YHBP enabled you can see how far behind I’ve been! At least I have been making some progress every day instead of procrastinating for months like I did before! I’m now over 1/3 done. 86 down, 154 to go! This is how it used to look before YBHP was on - as you can see, I was staying on the road the whole time: ![Screenshot_20200506-111844](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/beeminder/original/2X/0/07194065ee19240fd7088bb429385cdcf0d07452.jpeg) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/project-240-please-help-me-create-and-enforce-some-deadlines/6657)._
