A way to motivate yourself to complete a task (writing a book, losing 10 lbs, etc) by saying I will put up X dollars towards this goal, and if I don't make it, I don't get it back and it gets donated to charity.
The idea is that you need some sort of external consequence in order to really motivate yourself to do things outside of work, school, etc.
What do you guys think?

- patmcc 12y agohttps://www.beeminder.com https://www.beeminder.com has some similarities to this idea. You have goals that are tracked over time (lots of options on that) and if you derail they charge you an escalating amount. Money goes to them rather than charity, but it's still money lost to you. I've been using it for several months and I'm quite happy with it. Been charged ~5 times for different goals, to the tune of maybe $40?
