I don't understand what happens if I "slip". It sounds like there's money involved, but it's not clear at all.

If you derail from the yellow brick road again then the $5 is automatically charged. Gory details at http://beeminder.com/money http://beeminder.com/money
- jmillikin 14y agoThis is Beeminder, so pricing is at https://www.beeminder.com/money https://www.beeminder.com/money You can "play" for free, as long as you're on track to meet your self-imposed goal. If you set a goal, and then fail to work on it, you get one free "reset". If you fail again, you can either pledge money to reset again, or create a new goal (leaving the old, failed goal as a badge of shame). It's a clever system, which acts to strongly reward setting realistic goals. The only thing is, you have to be a bit careful if you're the kind of person to push yourself too hard. I set a beeminder to practice piano every day, then kept increasing the practice time, and eventually just burned myself right out. Go easy.
