It can be difficult to create goals and stick to them, so 'ShowUpToIt' is a web app that enables users to have a bit more encouragement to get things completed. 'ShowUpToIt' enables users to set goals for themselves that they want to complete that, if they are not completed, will result in a monetary payment being made.
'ShowUpToIt' uses GPS technology in your smartphone to know whether or not you are completing your goals and will automatically cash in the stake you have set if you don't keep it. This acts as a great way to get motivated based on the fact that not completing goals will result in losing a certain amount of money. This makes it possible to create goals that you'll actually complete rather than being all talk and no action.
