I find productivity techniques work really well for me... for some amount of time and then this becomes me. I stuck with Beeminder for years and just can't get back into it. I had a great scheduling system that lasted months and now, nope it's awful. No idea why.

Sadface! (Well, not too sad, "stuck with Beeminder for years" is a pretty solid endorsement.) We'd be grateful to understand the blockers better, on getting back on the wagon.

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.

Interesting, Do you consider you are experiencing burnout or something similar? Wild proposition, if what you put on Beeminder, you don't want to do, why don't add goals like "Watch 30min of TV", "Do 30min of social media daily". Maybe you can have more insight into the issue
