Go y'all!
Are you keeping track at all of the results? E.g., do stated goals get met; do participants get more done than they did prior to participating; do participants get better at not stating goals they aren't going to get done, etc.?
We just started, so it's hard to answer with confidence. Since many of us (like me) did not previously keep track of goals it's hard to say anything with precision, but subjectively I find this setup motivating: the thought of public commitment and potential money loss pops up in my head quite a bit.
