Rate units : daily vs weekly?

But what about derailment? Is there any difference?

A 7/week rate would derail if I don’t enter anything on my first day as
would be the case for 1/day rate.

For hours of study , I could set the weekly rate W hrs to daily rate W/5
hours per day ( to buffer for weekends)

I think this depends on the activity you are beeminding and on its weekly
schedule.

If it is performed daily, and you can quantify it on a daily basis, go
for a daily rate.
As an example: I have started to use anki, and I’m beeminding both new
cards https://www.beeminder.com/afcuttin/goals/anki02 and cards under
review. I know that I want to learn 25 new cards every day(this can be set
up in the app and I have control on this), in the weekend also, so in this
case I opted for a daily rate.

On the other side, I’m beeminding my hours of study. Since I know that in
the weekend I may not study (provided I have enough safetyhttps://beeminder.uservoice.com/forums/3011-general/suggestions/2489098-allow-scheduling-of-days-off-in-advance
buffer http://blog.beeminder.com/chunky/), I opted for a weekly rate.

Hope this helps!

A very noob question : but what is the difference between rates 1 per day
and 7 per week ?

Also , which rate is better in which scenario?

I am beeminding the number of pomodoros completed with a rate of 42/week?
Would it be better in this case to switch to 6/day?
