I wrote about wanting a shorter akrasia horizon for work tasks in a recent thread:
However, the 7-day akrasia horizon is in conflict with the way vacation and sick days work. Whereas my boss is fine if I take time off with very little notice, Beeminder goals require me to plan 7 days ahead. I realized this mismatch when I took a day off last week and had to e-mail support to reset my goal for that day because there was no way to do it in the app.
(There’s already a lot of great discussion there. I just thought I’d add a pointer to it here since it’s relevant. I’d use this setting if we had it.
