Reset your Canvas course week with Beeminder goals in view
A weekly reset feels lighter when you can see the commitments already taking up space.
Trigger

Action

Why this helps
Course plans are often made in isolation from ongoing goals, creating more friction later in the week.
- Retrieve active goals during an existing weekly planning ritual.
- Make course intentions with current commitments visible.
- Lower the effort of checking two services separately.

- 1Connect Beeminder once in the Notis portal.

- 3Pick a Notis schedule trigger and set it for your reset time.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports, then test with one real run.
