Hi, I'm Brennan! I created this website to provide weekly updates regarding my goals (systems) that I currently have on a website called Beeminder as a way to keep myself accountable, as well as a place for general draft writing. For more information on the theory behind this idea, please check out the following links where I have written extensively about this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Fifty-Four: Tracking Nutrition
Posted: March 19, 2021Week Fifty-four! Another standard week. For starters, I created /nutrition and archived /foodlog. I stopped using Noom after my free-trial, as it didn’t really provide much value. (except for having a “coach” hold you accountable, I might create another thread looking for an accountability buddy ...
Fifty-Three: Future Akrasia
Posted: March 13, 2021Week Fifty-three! Things have been going really great for me the past few weeks, productivity-wise. I’m finally starting to chip away at the seemingly immortal list of things that I’ve been meaning to do forever, now. The biggest update I have is that I’ve been using Noom for the past two weeks ...
Fifty-Two: Framework Beeminder
Posted: March 6, 2021Week Fifty-two! Finally, reaching a canonical year a few weeks late due to my usual tardiness.

Which made me beg the question–should I be aiming to be more metric/quantitatively-focused, or qual...
Fifty-One: The Current Metasystem
Posted: February 27, 2021Week Fifty-one! I’m recovering from a minor surgery and just settling in. Overall, things are going good. I’m finally diving into Eleventy which I wish I had done sooner! It’s similar to Jekyll, but a lot more powerful and flexible, and although relatively niche right now, I see a bright future a...
Fifty: Recalibration
Posted: February 20, 2021Week Fifty! Of course, late again. Although this time it was only partly my fault, as I had a minor medical emergency and a rather surprise moving out. I’ve been diligently keeping up with my Beeminders, though! Only one derailment, /photos. And also a non-legit derail on /distraction, sadly addi...
Forty-Nine: A Year In
Posted: February 8, 2021Week Forty-nine! Missed a week! Or rather, I’ve already missed a Journal kim entry, but I’m alright with that, since I’ve been sliding further and further from my weekly deadline of Monday to all the way to Friday! By just waiting a few more days, I can essentially just “derail” for a week and r...
