See, I find it a lot more useful to know whether I did what I needed to. I think this is related to Team Yellow vs. Team Black: > **[Team Black vs Team Yellow: The Two Styles of Beeminding](https://blog.beeminder.com/olimay/)** > > This is a guest post by Oliver Mayor, an avid Beeminder user for going on four years. He’s a software developer who’s interested in human-behavior-shaping technology and often has pretty deep insights related to Beeminder. We were especially... Those of us on Team Black, like me, care about the logging system being most motivating, not the purity of the real-world nature of the graph. This way, the data you log is a function of both what you do and what you need to do, as opposed to just what you do. What do you think is the best way to handle weekend-only goals? Another possibility is to allow for uploading a list of numbers used to shape your future road - that way you could script something that would create a table to auto-modify your road for weekend-only the way @apolyton does manually. Here’s another example: > [@Beeminding a specific craft project](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/beeminding-a-specific-craft-project/4740/3): > > How about the following: Have a slope of 1. Every day, if you don’t have a motif to make and are in a beemergency, add a datapoint of 1. (Think of this as “all caught up for today.”) Use IFTTT to add a 3 datapoint whenever you enter a datapoint on your reading goal. Now you’re caught up for 3 days but you can’t enter a datapoint until you make the motif. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/weekend-only-goals/3033)._
