How OneActionStep Works
The science-backed accountability system that turns your goals into reality through credit commitment.
Set Your Goal
Define a specific, actionable goal with a clear deadline. Choose how many credits you're willing to stake if you don't follow through.
Example: "Exercise for 30 minutes" with 10 credits at stake, due by Friday 8PM
Buy Credits (Optional)
You start with 40 free credits! Buy more credits voluntarily if you want to stake higher amounts on your goals.
Stay Accountable
Work towards your goal knowing that real credits are on the line. The deadline countdown creates urgency and the credit stakes ensure commitment.
Pro Tip: Start with smaller amounts (1-5 credits) to build the habit before staking larger amounts.
Complete Your Goal
Mark your goal as completed before the deadline. You keep your credits and build momentum for future goals.
Miss Your Deadline
If you don't complete your goal by the deadline, your staked credits are automatically lost from your account. No exceptions, no refunds.
Important: This real consequence is what makes the system effective - the pain of loss motivates action.
Why Credit Commitment Works
Loss Aversion Psychology
Research shows people are 2-3x more motivated to avoid losing something valuable than to gain it. By putting credits at risk, you tap into one of the strongest psychological motivators.
Immediate Consequences
Unlike long-term goals where consequences are distant, OneActionStep creates immediate credit stakes that make the cost of procrastination real and tangible.
Public Commitment
By formally committing through our platform, you create a psychological contract with yourself that's harder to break than a private promise.
Habit Formation
Small, consistent commitments build the neural pathways of follow-through, making future goal achievement easier and more automatic.
Security & Trust
Stripe Security
All payments processed through Stripe, the same system used by millions of businesses worldwide.
Transparent Process
Clear terms, no hidden fees, and complete transparency about when and how credit deductions occur.
Fair & Automatic
No human judgment calls - the system automatically processes credit deductions based on your deadline.
