I read this post last night. I was in the office late, not because I had a great deal to do, but because I was procrastinating. After reading it, I asked my friend to give me a quick call to say congratulations in a half an hour if I'd finished all the work. It took me 10 minutes to finish! :)

But that's probably more of a public commitment effect.

True. But I bet if coffeespoons makes this a routine thing, they'll eventually find themselves enjoying work more.
