Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017

Beemind Easy Things
Wednesday, December 21st, 2016
It’s almost New Year’s Day! Since I am both an eternal optimist and obsessed with productivity tips / planner Instagram / life improvement stories, this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE holiday of the year. For the last week or so, I’ve spent a decent amount of time... »

Friday, February 21st, 2014
How Beeminder works is you tell us your goal and we map out a Yellow Brick Road for you to stay on. As long as you stay on the road you're safe, but if you fall off we'll charge you money! We give you seven goals to play around with at the beginning. These start at $0, so if you fall off once ... »
PSA: T Minus One Week to Thanksgiving
Thursday, November 17th, 2011
Today is one week before Thanksgiving in the US. One week is also Beeminder’s akrasia horizon.

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011
This is a friendly reminder about our friendly mass of incandescent gas. For beemindees in the northern hemisphere (i.e., all but one or two of you, I believe), this is a reminder that the days are as long as they are going to get right... »
