Anyway, the fact that these services don't exist is a sign that people tend to overlook incentive engineering. Most product designers don't think about it. Most OSS maintainers don't think about it (even though it's what defines the success of a community project). Etc

Instead of trying to steer yourself via "willpower", which is ineffective and can be quite painful, you should be able to design your everyday environment to guide you towards the goals you've set for yourself. I hope to see a new wave of products and services in this spirit

well, it's all about forcing a habit, that can happen externally and internally. In terms of effectiveness - depends on how do you assess that, forcing a habit through willpower is prob a quicker solution.
