The Pithy Take

Understanding that there’s a big difference between having a goal and achieving it, stickK tries to bridge this distance via a Commitment Contract–an agreement you sign with yourself to make sure that you actually follow through.

You pick the goal and set the parameters, figure out the main steps it will take to achieve that goal, and stickK will help provide tools to ensure that you actually take those steps, by using the power of loss aversion and accountability. For those looking for a new way to nudge themselves into change, this could be it!
