There's also the nuclear option, AKA beeminder.com. You set your goals, choose a financial punishment, and you get charged on failing. Works pretty great.

- mjangle1985 6y agoWhy not just use a rubber band on your wrist and a sting each time? It provides the same conditioned response to not doing your work but you don't have to pay for it.
- miki123211 6y agoTwo reasons 1. Beeminder can, if you want it to do so, increase punishments up to an arbitrary amount. There are situations where you want your punishment to be extremely high, so that you know losing is not an option. 2. Some people have a problem with entering the right amounts of data, or even tracking all their stuff. Beeminder is automated. Do whatever works, though. The rubber band approach isn't bad. Some people might prefer automated scripts that send out compromising photos or destroy data if certain conditions are met. There are a lot of approaches.
