Outline

The importance of the willpower is becoming higher and higher. Some studies found that pre-commitment methods were effective to enhance the willpower and help people achieve their goals. We propose a novel software, named WillingRing, which analyzes users’ behaviors from Web services and wearable gadgets and which helps users achieve their goals using various scientific methods such as the pre-commitment. WillingRing enhances users’ willpower and encourages users to achieve their goals and issues requested by others.
