Nooo problemo. Didn't get around to uploading pictures last weekend, so I'll try and make sure I do tomorrow :D

I admire that--great dedication to the goal!

Nooooooo problemo! Experienced mind annoyance on Monday (which was a holiday) because it FELT like an extension of the weekend, so I WANTED to be able to check on my comments, etc.

I abstained though, of course. Hoorayy!

Perfect week, no violations.

Great job! I think I understand about the binary nature of the goal being helpful -- I tried a lot of different variations on my current recreational time management goal before settling into the current one, and I sadly found it somewhat easier to meet goals of the type Not Doing It Before X Time than the type Doing It For Only a Few Minutes Before X Time. But I wouldn't say it's gotten super easy for me. Do you find that the $ stakes help significantly? Any other tips? Thanks!

Oh, this is my "easy" one :) It's really just a maintainance thing, an extension of my original commitment. DOn't get me wrong, cutting back on facebook wasn't pain-free! But as bothersome as it was to have to stay off during the week initially, this is the sort of straightforward binary commitment that's super easy for me to stick to even when it's a real pain in the a$$. In 13+ weeks I've only had one violation, and that was on a technicality. So, really good success.
