Making Procrastination Cost Something #
January 22nd, 2008 | In Worth Knowing
I heard about this site a while ago (and had the idea before that), but I just noticed that it actually launched.
stickK is a web-based company that helps you achieve your personal goals through “Commitment Contracts.” You create a contract obliging you to achieve a specific goal within a specific time-frame. By doing so, you put your reputation at stake. You may also choose to wager money to give yourself added incentive to succeed. If you do succeed, you get your money back. If you fail, the money is forfeited to charity, or to one of several causes, or to a person of your choosing. stickK’s services are absolutely free.
I think the charity donation aspect could also be used like the mythic SnūzNLūz so that you really feel motivated.
