Precommitments: Set and Remind Your Commitments
Precommitments is a free Chrome plugin developed by Nehan Sikder. It falls under the category of Browsers and subcategory of Add-ons & Tools.
This plugin is designed to help users set and remind their precommitments when visiting websites. Precommitment refers to the concept of influencing future behavior by taking action in the present that limits future choices. Research suggests that effective precommitments are those that serve as reminders rather than explicitly taking away options.
With Precommitments, users can easily set their precommitments within the extension and save them. For instance, users can pledge to read only one Reddit post or watch two YouTube videos. Once the commitments are saved, the next time the user visits YouTube or Reddit, the extension generates a small notification, reminding them of their pledge and helping to reinforce their commitment.
This extension aims to assist users in staying focused and disciplined, providing gentle reminders of their precommitments as they browse popular websites.
