Like the curse word jar, monetary punishment has always been incentive to kick a bad habit. If the snooze button is your nemesis, you can meet your match with an iPhone app.
Named Gizmodo’s App of the Week, Snooze for iPhone tallies up your total number of snooze hits and asks twice per month if you would like to donate to the Let Give non-profit of your choice (it doesn’t force you to donate). It can all add up at $0.25 per hit.
But as Gizmodo says, it’s a win-win. Either the incentive gets you out of bed on time or proceeds go to a good cause.
If you don’t have an iPhone, see the video below for the traditional incentives to kick the snoozing habit:

Posted on August 16, 2011 at 4:18pmWho is going to want to donate anything after being woken up and most likely irritable? This is about as dumb of an idea as the wake and bake idea that entrepreneur had on the show Shark Tank and the alarm clock that shreds money until you hit the snooze button on Popular Science.
