Forfeit: Habit Contracts

For over a month, I have not missed one day of achieving my goals due to this app in the areas of maintaining a calorie deficit, working out immediately after I get out of bed, keeping in touch with family and friends daily, making sure I get into the Bible and do some study every day, and my prayer life. The team at Forfeit has built a truly life-changing app. If you’re wondering how AI can positively benefit us humans, this is a great example.

I have struggled with getting up for the longest time, it is nearly impossible for me to hold myself accountable when getting out of bed but Forfeit has changed that. I work from home and I’m self-employed, so the longer it takes me to start my day, the more money I lose. With Forfeit, I have set it up so that way it charges my bank account if I don’t get out of bed and submit a picture of myself brushing my teeth before 9 AM. For once in my life, there’s a genuine consequence for my procrastination. This app has motivated me more than I have ever been motivated, and my life is genuinely improving from it. My only comment is that it was incredibly hard for me to figure out how to set up the option where they pull money from your bank account if you don’t do your task. The app doesn’t outwardly say it anywhere (unless I just wasn’t looking in the right places) I ended up having to reach out to support, but I figured it out before they got back to me. You need to go to their website online to add payment information. Once I found out how to do everything it was genuinely very easy to navigate. I also would like to comment that support got back to me rather quickly for this being a smaller business, which is really appreciated! Unless you pay for a subscription, you can only have one task at a time, but that’s not an issue for me. You don’t have to have some sort of subscription to even use the app, which is awesome!
