PinkySeal - Why It Works

Yes, there are dozens of studies and mountains of psychology research on commitment contracts, loss aversion, accountability, sunk costs, and all that. But let’s be honest-this isn’t a scientific journal. It’s very easy to write up a summary of reports and sprinkle in references. The real question is: what actually works for you?

Think about your own goals. Maybe you’ve tried apps, reminders, sticky notes, or sheer willpower. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. When it worked, what was there? Probably someone else watching, a bit of pressure not to let them down, or a small cost if you quit. When it failed, what was missing? Exactly that.

That’s where PinkySeal comes in: a witness you trust, a tiny $2 service fee to make it feel official, and a structure that makes breaking your promise just awkward enough to keep you honest. Semi-seriously-your chances are significantly higher when someone else is counting on you.

Anyway, give it a try.
