Put it on your Facebook or Myspace status, or Twitter about it. That way, your friends will know about it and might ask you later on if you achieved your goal. And of course, when that happens, you don't want to give them a negative answer, so you better get done what it is you wanted to do. I guess this would work best for somewhat ambitious or "interesting" goals. "Clean up my apartment" will probably not generate too much feedback, "learn how to unicycle" probably will.
