Telling someone about your goal makes you more likely to stick with it. Waking up is no different — especially when your friends can see whether you're up.
Group ideas
- Hostel floor: everyone up by 6:30 for a week.
- Gym buddies: alarm + squats mission before the 7 AM session.
- Family: wake the kids for school with a shared board.
- Remote team: a 'before standup' challenge.
Keep it kind
Nudges and reactions work best when they're playful. The goal is encouragement, not shame.
Chuzi's tip · Try Buddy mode: pair with one friend, and if one of you snoozes, the other gets a nudge to call.
