Pactio — The 30-Day Pact Challenge

Make a pact. Keep it. A printable 30-day contract.

What it does

Most goals die in week two. Pactio turns your goal into a signed, witnessed contract — a printable 30-day workbook that makes quitting feel like breaking a promise. Inside the 11-page workbook: a contract to sign, a daily log with 30 reflection prompts, weekly reviews, and a completion certificate. Two ways to play: DIY with your own witness ($12 one-time), or get matched with a fellow pacter who checks in every Sunday ($9/month). Missing a day isn't failure. Quitting is.

The 30-Day Pact Challenge — a printable contract that turns your goal into a witnessed commitment. Print it. Sign it. Get a witness who asks every Sunday. Missing a day isn

Stop quitting on your goals. Sign a 30-day pact with a witness — someone who'll check on you every single day and hold you to your word. A printable one-page tracker to start your pact today — plus the 3 rules that make pacts stick. One specific, measurable goal — "run 3× a week", not "get fit". A friend who'll hold you to it — or let Pactio match you with a fellow pacter. 30-second check-ins every day. 5-minute reviews every Sunday. Have a friend or partner who'll keep you honest? Grab the workbook and run your own 30 days. No witness yet? Subscribe and Pactio pairs you with a fellow pacter within 48 hours — plus daily check-ins and weekly reviews. No apps to install.

    Discipline.io – Make binding commitments to your better self2023 · discipline.io · ▲87

    Hi HN, It's super hard to quit addicting apps. Existing solutions are non-binding, and therefore, require constant self-discipline and vigilance to be effective. Which is ironic, considering the problem we are trying to solve, is a lack of self-discipline. There exists a physical solution to this problem, in the form of a time-locked safe[1]. It’s effective for reducing app usage, but it's cumbersome and inconvenient. Fundamentally, what these lock-boxes do is impose a real-world cost on breaking your commitment. It’s not impossible to break your commitment, but it would require destroying…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
