Being automatically paired up (groups of two, maybe more) with another user and getting shocked if the buddy does not complete his/her goal could be an interesting way to help learn how to motivate others, and perhaps then yourself. This then adds an element of randomness to the shocks (if the deadline for a buddy's task is unknown) which may not be present for the non-paired-user scenario.
