so far, pomodoro is working like reverse psychology
it's like "hey Sara great job awesome, take a lil break now!"
and I'm like "did this fuckn tomato just tell me what to do? why I oughta"

So would I! I'd love to start using it again but it seems to be some combination of emotional block on using it and no longer having quite such easily beeminder shaped problems / so much willingness to make my problems fit beeminder
But basically what happens is that these days when I try to create a beeminder goal it seems to cause me to dig my heels in and go "NO! DON'T WANNA!" on the actual task, which is the opposite of helpful. Not beeminder's fault I think, so not sure if something you can fix!

Have you tried smaller goals? So small that you are doing them right now? When I get that feeling usually is because I'm not ready for that difficulty, I decrease the repetitions, minutes, words, etc, until I feel comfortable then you can start optimizing using Beeminder

I have. I've got quite a lot of experience making beeminder goals work, the problem isn't really that I can't make it work, it's that even with easily achievable goals I find I don't want to.

Beeminder was really helpful for me for a while, but also sparked this rebellion eventually. I think it's something about explicit vs implicit values. There are parts that don't know how to express their preference other than "NO NOT THIS". It's hard to fit them into beeminder
