There is a web site that does that for you for those who don't have a nearby friend that fits the criteria. It's called http://stickk.com, created by a couple of Yale Professors. I have no connection except that I used it to start my exercise habit last year.
Don't forget http://beeminder.com -- still in private beta but Less Wrong folks interested in commitment contracts can jump the queue for a beta account with the invite code LESSWRONG.
I think Beeminder more directly addresses Eliezer's observation that the problem with procrastination/akrasia is having our decision-making distorted in the presence of immediate consequences. Cf http://lesswrong.com/lw/33s/antiakrasia_reprise/
