I was feeling rather negative after my last post, so I made myself go out and find something out there that’s positive. 

With StickK, you literally draw up a contract that says that you will achieve a given goal. What I like most is that you can wager money that, if you choose, goes to charity if you fail.

stickK.com - Put a contract out on yourself!

Although you don’t really need a web application to create a contract for your goals, as their FAQ’s state:

In a word (make that two words): social psychology. Let’s say you sign
a contract promising to pay a friend a sum of money if you don’t
achieve your goal. Chances are, if you renege on your commitment
contract, your friend won’t take your money, or will be soft on you and
renegotiate the terms of the contract (after all, aren’t friends
supposed to be understanding?). Well, and don’t take this personally,
we’re not your friend. So we hold you to the contract!

A bit harsh perhaps, but probably effective. Anyone out there trying StickK?
