Part one. Create your own commitment device: Think about a goal or task you'd like to complete in the next 1-2 weeks (ideally by the end of Thanksgiving break), and create a commitment device to help stick with your plans. What do you plan to do, and how is it a commitment device? Be sure you specify how is it going to restrict the choices for your "future self" in order to get you to choose a certain behavior. Be as specific as possible about what you are going to do and when, and see my examples below if you need ideas.

Part two. Once we've tested our devices, it's time to share the results. Please leave at least a week between your two posts so that you've had time to test the device. In a reply to your part one, report back on what you did and whether or not your commitment device worked.What did you attempt to do, and did it work? Why or why not?
