If you think that good design might help you stick to your New Year’s resolution, check out Startaresolution.com.

The site is designed to help you stick to your goals by assigning everyone who joins a coach.

Each of the multi-colored circles represents someone’s resolution. When you sign up and add your own resolution, the person who created the circle to the left of yours becomes your coach, responsible for making sure you stay on track.

You get to coach the person who signs up after you–the circle to your right.

You can browse the site and “kick” other circles to encourage them to reach their goal; the more you interact with the site the bigger your circle gets.

This is a great idea, not only for goal-setting, but for meeting motivated people who like websites that GLOW NONSTOP. Seriously. Touch something and it glows.

A WORD OF WARNING:

Keep your resolution short. The site will let you type in more words than can fit in the circle. And then it gets cut off. And you can’t delete it. Irritating.
