"Make being organised as much fun as gaming..."
This sounds like just the thing some of us could use:
EpicWin App for iPhone
http://www.epicwinapp.com/
[Disclaimer: I haven't tried this, and I do not own an iPhone. A friend of mine brought it to my attention.]
Shamelessly copied app description:
"Our lives are full of quests. Remember that birthday card, send that email, or drag ourselves to the gym on a regular basis.
Trouble is, sometimes we’re having too much fun doing other virtual stuff like hunting down rare items in World of Warcraft or leveling-up in Facebook games, to remember the stuff we’re supposed to be doing.
EpicWin is an iPhone app that puts the adventure back into your life. It’s a streamlined to-do list, to note down all your everday tasks, but with a role-playing spin.
Rather than just mentally ticking off your chores, completing each one improves and develops your character in an on-going quest to level-up, gain riches, and develop skills.
By getting points for your chores it's easier to actually get things done. We all have good intentions but we need a bit of encouragement here and there. Doing the laundry is an epic feat of stamina so why not get stamina points for it?!
Watch as your avatars stats develop in ways to represent your own life. Will you be a Maiden of Juggled Priorities, or a King of Win? The lifestyle you lead will decide. "
Also...for general use, I'd love to see some of the following tags added: productivity, assistive technology, internet, internet addiction...
