Can I share it with just one person, like a personal trainer?A: It’s easy to set up your goal to be as private or public as you want. Share your progress with just one person or automatically publish your goal status to all your friends on Facebook or Twitter.Q: Does PeerPressure expose embarrassing information such as my weight or debt?A: PeerPressure sends updates about your goal in ways that don’t reveal awkward personal information, and the charts show your progress without showing numbers. You can also privately preview your notifications before you make them public.Q: What if I can’t find a goal template that meets my specific needs?A: It’s easy to customize a template to turn it into what you want. For example, start with the template “Learn a new language” and change it to “Learn to speak Italian before my trip”.Q: Can’t I just lie about my progress?A: PeerPressure works amazingly well if you play by the rules. Yes, it might be tempting to stretch the truth about achieving your goal. But as my first grade teacher Miss Potter warned, “You’d only be hurting yourself.”GOOD LUCK ACHIEVING YOUR GOAL!
