Regrettably, the cow I had to lift this morning will have to be destroyed due to, well, nature taking its course. I must say though, Milo's story whilst at face value is entertaining appears to be utterly impractical. Lifting a cow simply for the sake of lifting a cow is pointless, if not merely egotistic. Lifting a cow to try and save both its and its calf's life appears to be a better reason.

Do you have a URL that has more details about the FSU experiment? I've been digging around for it and can't find it. Would love to see more details on it. Nice article.

It prevents some passionless automation to occur. I did subscribe and look forward to your articles. I am a writer also - mostly about social issues - especially as they relate to social norms.

Perhaps there should instead be a minimum daily goal velocity might be one adaptation. For example, if I want to write 6 pages per day, then if I write 12 pages one day I'll still need to write 6 pages the next day. Very good point! --Clay @Mona: I see what you’re saying.

Good idea! A couple of comments on goal velocity: An important element that drives goals is the passion you have for completing the goal. For example, writers have days when the the "juices flow" or the runner goes 6 minutes past his former time not 3 min. It could be a trap that says, "Well, since I did so good last time, I think I will miss a time towards my pursit. Actually, missing an allotted time can be a setback. The idea that completing a goal is a continuous process aligns with your goal velocity but, the flexibility might also include: "If I do better at one time, I still maintain my original velocity speed the next time and not feel as if I have to compete with my best time" - this could lead to burn-out.
