Goal Commitment Contract
A goal commitment contract is a clear written pledge with check-ins—sometimes light stakes—that turns vague goals into accountable weekly behavior.
A goal commitment contract is a written pledge—often with a friend, coach, or small stake—that specifies behavior, deadline, and check-ins. Clarity beats vague motivation: one measurable action, weekly review, and defined restart after misses.
Stakes should be annoying, not financially reckless.
Common questions
-
Do commitment contracts need money stakes?
