Hey students, freelancers, and anyone building a skill, good habits, or reaching for a goal! Check out this game that will make getting shit done way easier and more fun! HabitRPG is a gamified task list that organizes what you want to get done and rewards you with experience, gold, and drops for checking them off and have the consequence of damaging your health. Dailies are set once per day, such completing your assignment or even setting yourself up for success such as by closing all of your extra windows and leaving Photoshop and a blank document open at the end of the day. Habits can be completed multiple times per day, such as anatomy studies or drawing from life, an unbroken pomodoro, or even arriving on time to class. To-Dos are one-time tasks like turning in a major assignment or ordering supplies. Habits only deal you damage if you are trying to avoid bad habits like arriving late or wasting time. You can also assign checklists for complicated or related tasks, like a morning routine, or a set of thumbnails before deciding on a final image to develop further. The beauty of the system is that its social, so you can join up with a group of friends and form a party, which keeps you accountable. When youre on a quest fighting a boss, any incomplete Dailies deal damage not only to you, but to your party members. So I check in regularly and we support each other. That said, if you get sick or go on vacation, you can Check into the Inn and your Dailies will freeze. At a certain level you can pick your own class with special abilities. Different people are rewarded by different things, some prefer to make critical hits (Warrior), some like getting gold best (Rogue), some like to support others (Healer), and some like me enjoy leveling and helping others level. I wish Id had this tool when I was in school, but even now its helping me not only organize my projects and build technical skill, its also helping me find that elusive work-life balance - I can easily see if Im procrastinating or spending too much time on any one thing. And its fun! Every time I click off a task I imagine casting a burst of flames at it...then see if I can buy the next armor upgrade or art book. vimeo/76557040 #gamification #habitrpg #productivity #studying #timemanagement
