Large example image of the Self Contract card.

Purpose

Use the Self Contract to make a contract with yourself for a new behavior. After setting a goal for your new behavior, you can make a specific plan to carry out the contract, check to see if it works, and plan a bonus for yourself when the contract is met

Tips

»	This tool helps you make a contract with yourself to meet a goal. A teacher or witness can help you make specific plans and sign it with you.
»	The tool has all the specifics you need to decide to have a good contract: WHAT, WHERE, and WHEN you will do something, HOW WELL you need to do it to be successful, what you will THINK to help you perform, and how you will CHECK to evaluate your outcome.
»	Plan a BONUS and WHEN and WHERE you will get the bonus when the contract is met.
»	The best contracts are simple. It is better to do several short-term, simple contracts and be successful than to set up something complicated that will be too difficult to accomplish.
»	Follow your contract for the whole time period and then decide whether you need to do another contract. If you are ready to make a more general contract without all the specifics, use the Self Contract tool.
