»research » Compact Contract: Commitments Made Easier

We all make promises to ourselves: lose 10 pounds, save more, exercise more. And yet, it is far too easy to make such promises and then find a thousand excuses to break them. Drawing on the fact that we are much less likely to make a social promise and then break it, Compact Contract is a tool for making small "contracts" with our friends and family, with a built-in reminder of the time period within which we have promised to act.

This project is currently starting.
