So, I started using Beeminder! I think I'm liking it, though I suspect I will find the graphs more satisfying when they have more data. So far I have two goals set up - Inbox Zero Five (AKA 'don't sit on your RP tags for four days straight, damnit), and ten minutes a day cleaning (I may up this to fifteen or twenty once I get into the habit of things. I have two more things I plan on adding relatively soon, though - a graph to track doing stretching exercises for my back, because I know they will help but I can't seem to get them into routine; and doing one patch a week for DW as part of my 'learn more code' drive. Though I'm willing to let style patches count for that.
Anyway, two things I learned about Beeminder so you don't have to:
1) If you are like me and like learning things by going in and poking at them, check the option to have the graph autodelete itself after a few days. Otherwise you have to manually delete all your data points to delete the graph you have probably set to the wrong parameters
2) If you can't get to your daily target the day you set your goal up (and day means 'before midnight', as they don't have custom day-ends programmed yet for those of us living mentally in other time zones *g*), either wait until a day you can do it or add a fake data point as an adjustment. Otherwise you'd have to do double your daily target the next day to make up for it.
