Habits
Commitment Device Menu
A commitment device menu lists pre-approved binds—class packs, pledges, lockouts—you pick when motivation is high, not at midnight negotiation.
A commitment device menu lists pre-approved binds—prepaid class pack, public pledge, app lockout, buddy fine jar—you choose from when motivation is high, not when you are negotiating at midnight. Rank devices by cost, reversibility, and shame risk; pick one per goal.
Menus prevent fantasy contracts you will not honor. Review quarterly for cruelty—devices should protect future you, not punish present you.
Common questions
-
How many devices should be on the menu?
Three to five options spanning low, medium, and high stakes. Too many creates choice paralysis; too few leaves no fit for different goal types.
