I found Beeminder via the Slate Star Codex sidebar ad in December of 2015. That fall had been particularly intense at work and I was turning into a grumpy mess with my family. I binge-read Messy Matters and the Beeminder blog on Christmas, then dove in head-first with Beeminder goals to build some stability and balance back into my life.
After a few weeks with goals for running, meditation, drinking less, and tracking grumps, I was feeling much more like myself. I also set myself a blogging goal and pulled off a year of near-weekly posts to my blog, which was a much higher frequency of writing than I’d ever managed previously.
