Habit Contract

A one-page commitment device you fill in and sign by hand. State the habit as a plain intention — I will do this, at this time, in this place — name the identity behind it, then set the terms: how you'll track it, the two-minute minimum so you never fully miss, and the recovery rule so a slip never becomes a spiral. Put real stakes on both sides, name who's holding you accountable, then sign and date it. A habit you've signed for is harder to walk away from than one you merely meant to keep. Leave anything blank to write in by hand.

Best for: Turning a habit you keep meaning to start into one you've put your name to.

Put the promise in writing.

A habit you intend is easy to drop; a habit you've signed for is harder to walk away from. State exactly what you'll do, when and where, why it matters, and what's on the line — then sign it. The signature is the whole point.

How it works

The commitment — the habit, plus when and where it happens.
The terms — how you'll track it, your two-minute minimum, and the recovery rule.
The stakes — a reward for keeping it, a cost for breaking it.
Accountability & signature — who's watching, then sign and date it.
