OK. Treat the weekly actions you just wrote down as a promise, and put some money at stake. If you haven't taken your actions at the end of the week, forfeit the money to charity.

Incredibly, putting even ONE dollar at stake doubles your motivation. (Obviously the more you stake, the more reliable you become).

If you're prepared to risk at least one dollar a week in order to motivate yourself, choose which charity you'd like any forfeits to go to. There's a non-charity option also.

Note: Stake Something receives a fee
Risking $100 seems to deliver almost 100% reliability, but choose anything from a dollar up. How much will spark action?

You start on Monday and report on a Sunday. If you forget, we’ll send you an SMS reminder so that you don't accidentally forfeit money – for that reason, we collect your phone number.

In case you forfeit, your card details are held by Stripe, the world's largest payment processor. Stake Something never has access to your credit card number.

Looks like your priorities are all aligned! Great stuff!
