没有色情在工作,其他16个奇怪的目标不太和谐le Committed toHumans are strange beasts. The proof is in this bewildering list, courtesy of the goal-getters at motivational app StickK.

Humans are tenacious beings. We're flawed and we know it and we strive to be better. Then we fail and try again.

In the broader scope, the aspects about ourselves we strive to improve often include the usual stuff -- waking up earlier to squeeze more productivity out of our days, exercising more often to stay fit and live longer and saving money to live comfortably after retirement. Nothing too out there.

Then there's the just plain weird. For example, when people pledge to try not to watch porn at work, not to bang their head when raging out and not speaking excessively slowly to foreigners. You can't make this stuff up. We're certainly not. These truly are some of the more bizarre commitments people have made when usingStickK, a motivational goal-tracking app designed by behavioral economists at Yale University.

Similar to betting, StickK users put money down toward a personal-improvement commitment. If they don't keep their commitment, they give the money away to a person of their choosing (friend or foe), or to charity. If they stick to it and succeed, the money is theirs to keep, along with their pride.

"Attaching a financial incentive to your personal goals reinforces your resolve and willpower and increases your likelihood of success," StickK co-founder and CEO Jordan Goldberg tells狗万官方. He claims people who use StickK arethree times more likely to succeedin achieving their goals than those who don't. (Full disclosure,it worked for one狗万官方reporter.)
