My Commitment Statement

Accountability Consequences

The Accountability Question: What meaningful consequence will you impose on yourself if you don't follow through? This should be something you'd genuinely want to avoid—like donating money to a cause you oppose, giving up a favorite activity, or doing an unpleasant task. Make it real enough to motivate you when willpower is low.

Success Rewards

The Celebration Question: How will you celebrate when you successfully complete this course? Choose a reward that excites you and feels proportional to the achievement. This could be a special purchase, experience, trip, or treat that you'll only allow yourself after completion.
