My name is Jared Collett founder of an app called Better Habits (iOS) and myself and others I know personally feel this way. I’m setting out to try and understand just just how many others feel this way as well.

In order to present a respectable solution, I need more data. With the help of some friends, this is what I’ve come up with so far. I’d like you to tear it apart, rebuild it, add to it, express your unfiltered thoughts on how you would solve this problem.

Basic workflow, outlined in graphic flowchart below :

1. User set an activity goal: close all rings 5 days a week 2. User sets stake: $5 for every day they fail their goal 3. User activity is automatically tracked with activity tracker; Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch, etc. 4. If user fails to complete goal, their stake goes into community pot 5. Other users compete over money in the pot to send it to the charity of their choice by being active 6. App takes 20% of stakes to maintain and improve system.

Think StickK, Beeminder, Pact: Updated, easy, and automatically tracked
