I’m speaking at this: [http://appliedrationality.org/entrepreneurs/](http://appliedrationality.org/entrepreneurs/) Beeminder-relevant excerpt: Beeminder, a Tool for Installing New Behaviors When you’re trying to turn plans for change (including plans you form this weekend) into things you actually do, it helps to have the right tool to keep your attention on your goal and your progress towards it. Many of us have found Beeminder to be a convenient, intuitive, motivating software tool for establishing new behaviors, so we have invited Daniel Reeves, co-founder of Beeminder, to explain how to use it most effectively. – [http://dreev.es](http://dreev.es) – search://"Daniel Reeves" Follow the Yellow Brick Road – [http://beeminder.com](http://beeminder.com) ---

I keep being astounded by how popular Beeminder is among this crowd (lesswrong, people studying cognitive biases, rationality). Definitely let me know if any of you are tempted to go to this. I can put you in touch with the organizers and hopefully finagle a steep discount, especially if I can vouch for you being someone who would add a lot of value to the workshop.

Super tempting, unfortunately I’m on the wrong continent! 🙂 I also found out about beeminder through lesswrong, I guess you (Daniel) left a comment on a post related to procrastination.
