A '''commitment device''' is a self-imposed/voluntary strategy that helps people stick to their [[goal setting|goals]] by imposing restrictions or penalties if they don't achieve them. The goal is to help people make better choices in the face of their [[cognitive bias]]es, and to bring about gains/positive changes for their future selves.
