stickK: the poster child of Behavioral Economics (featured in over 60 books and 20 textbooks) turns 15 this year!
As seen on The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, Psychology Today, Bloomberg, The Economist, NPR, LA Times … and lots more!
Created by a Behavioral Economists from Yale University, stickK is a goal-setting platform, habit tracker and online community of goal-setters. Our platform is designed to motivate and help you achieve your goals by leveraging the power of incentives, financial accountability and social accountability to your advantage.
No matter what your goal is - meditate, learn a language, lose weight, quit smoking or drinking, exercise more often… stickK can motivate and help you achieve it! End procrastination once and for all. Hold yourself accountable. Turn your goals into habits.
HOW IT WORKS
Trick yourself into a virtuous cycle, turn your goal into a habit and stop procrastinating once and for all: create a Commitment Contract between present you and future you.
1. Set your goal - ANY goal (lose weight, self-care, meditation, finish thesis…) and a timeline to achieve it
2. Invite someone - a friend, coworker or family member - to hold you accountable and verify your progress
3. Put your money where your mouth is! Set a price on inaction - add Stakes to your commitment (optional)
4. Track your progress by reporting your successes or failures daily, weekly OR at the end of your Commitment Contract
INCENTIVES x ACCOUNTABILITY = TO SUCCESS
ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER
- Invite a Referee that can verify your progress reports. They’ll have the final word on your Report and will be an essential part of your journey.
- We’ll take their word over yours, so pick wisely!
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY
- Add Stakes to your commitment and increase the chances of success
- If you’re unsuccessful, stickK will hold you accountable and send the amount at stake you pledged to:
- A friend
- Charity (from a list of 20+ 501(c)(3) organizations)
- Or our most popular option:
- An Anti Charity (an organization or foundation you fervently oppose)
Get an extra kick of motivation and select an Anti-Charity. Research shows that people work harder to ensure that their money never falls into the wrong hands ;)
SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY
- Upload pictures of your progress and share with friends & family
- Invite Supporters to become your personal cheerleaders and source of motivation
PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY
- Track your routine from start to finish in your Commitment Journal: record your thoughts, comments & – see yourself grow!
- Submit daily, weekly or periodic Reports: whether it’s a daily chore, a new habit, or a long-term commitment, stickK’s platform can suit any goal

HAVING TROUBLE?
As always, if you run into any troubles, let us know at support@stickK.com.
First of all, the methodologies that stickK uses are phenomenal for building new habits. My complaint isn’t with their system, but with this application. Despite having notifications “on” in the app, and on the settings in my phone, it fails to send me a reminder notifications to report. This is led to multiple failed reporting periods and thus donations to my anti- charity. This is pretty frustrating since I am keeping up the habit that I Set out to accomplish.
I give major credit to StickK!
CLCoops
I have been using StickK every week, without fail, for over a dozen years. I credit it for boosting my incentive to reduce weight, be more disciplined about exercise, keep more focused and reduce procrastination. A BIG side benefit from StickK comes when I faithfully record my weekly progress data. Simply measuring and entering data has given me the peace of mind that I am overall “moving in the right direction” - regardless of the many ups and downs that may occur from day to day.As a retired psychologist, I think StickK is a brilliantly designed method for leveraging a person’s built-in motivation to obtain progress toward long-term goals, especially those goals that require steady discipline to create effective new habits.
Super Glitchy App
avm925
Such a cool concept, but the app functionality is super glitchy and terrible. You can barely set up an account and create a goal. Multiple steps stall out and don’t work. It’s such a bummer because there’s no one else who will let you add financial consequences, which helps so much with motivation! Forfeit is a way better functioning app, but they don’t let you actually *forfeit* anything if you don’t meet your goals. : /
EXTREMELY UNHAPPY
Maryrosek90
There have been many days I have not been able to log into my account due to issues with Stickk. I had tried logging in on the app and through the web and it didn’t work. My password never changed and I was able to log in some days and not others. I contacted customer service and received no answer. I want to cancel my account and have not been able to. I have been charged everyday I have not been able to login. This is not right!!DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS!!
