Yeah. Beeminder doesn't work for me either - nor do most online punishment-based motivators.
My problem with it is that it doesn't punish you for failing to do the thing you need to do. It punishes you for failing to record the fact that you did the thing you need to do.
So if you're time-poor (like me) and still managed to do the thing... but didn't have time to go online and tell beeminder that you did the thing... you still get punished. :(
Yeah, I have the same problem with it. When my productivity went up, I actually went off the road because I couldn't be bothered to record it all.
