I'm a very long-time Beeminder user and would recommend it to anybody looking for another motivational mechanism. It's not always the best approach to motivation, but for certain types of goals like "work out frequently enough", the one-week "akrasia horizon" which kind of means you're mentally committing to work by your future self rather than your present self (and as your present self you can only un-commit with a week's notice), along with staying on a good-enough-on-average "yellow brick road" as they call it, is a game-changer.
