The Vow
“The only promise that has teeth.”
Checkout, delivery and instant download are handled securely by Etsy. PKR shown for visitors from Pakistan (approx., converted at checkout by Etsy).
A promise to yourself is easy to break because no one is watching. The Vow fixes both problems at once. You write your commitment in one sentence, choose a stake (an amount of money that would genuinely hurt to lose) and name a witness who holds the envelope.
Then the weeks are tracked, one row per week: kept, missed, or partially kept. The workbook counts what you owe the stake, what you've earned back, and how many weeks the vow has stood. Commitment with consequence, the way promises used to be made.
- One-sentence vow, written once, worded to be pass-or-fail
- Money stake with a named witness: the envelope that keeps you honest
- One row per week: kept, missed, or partially kept
- Automatic stake accounting for what's owed and what's standing
- Works for any commitment: training, study, worship, quitting a habit
