Precommitment

Precommitment is a way of making decisions so that you’re more likely to stick to them. It means you decide in advance what you will do, so you can’t change your mind later. Think of it like telling yourself to do something before you do it. For example, if you are trying to save money, you can make a precommitment with yourself to put a certain amount of money into your savings account every week. That way, even if you don’t feel like it, you will still stick to your agreement and put the money away. Precommitment can help you stay focused and make sure you don’t change your mind.
