Study Conditions:
This study requires that you strive for TWO independent goals that you would like to meet in the next 3 weeks (21 days). Specifically, you must indicate two goals that are equally important to you and answer questions about your goal pursuit each day for 21 consecutive days.
If you choose to participate, you will receive an email each morning for 21 days. Each email will contain a link to a short (5-min) survey. You must answer the survey questions around the same time each day (e.g., between 9:00am-10:00am every morning).
If you participate for 21 consecutive days, you will receive $15.75. You will not be fully compensated unless you participate EVERY DAY FOR 21 DAYS. You may receive partial compensation if you participate for at least 10 consecutive days. Additionally, there will be attention checks in each survey (e.g., Select number “5”) to ensure you are not randomly responding to questions. If you fail the attention checks, you will not be compensated. If you meet the study requirements, you will be compensated at the end of the 21 days.
Please select Continue if you agree to the conditions stated above.

Instructions:
Please pick two goals of equal importance that you would like to strive for in the next 3 weeks (21 days). These goals should both be important and difficult to achieve (goal achievement does not factor in to your payment). Additionally, the goals should be independent, or in other words, one goal should not facilitate in the achievement of the other goal (e.g., a goal for “eating healthier” and a goal to “avoid gaining any weight” are not independent, as eating healthier may contribute to the avoidance of gaining weight).
The first goal you indicate will be referred to as “Goal A” and the second goal you indicate will be referred to as “Goal B” for the remainder of this study. Please write down or remember which goal is labeled “Goal A” and which goal is labeled “Goal B”!
