HabitRPG
So the thing that I'm really into these days is a place called HabitRPG, which is basically a place to help people get more organized and focused and give them fun and silly rewards for basically being an adult which, lets face it, a lot of us, including myself, are not really very good at. ;P
Basically you get a cute pixelated avatar that you can dress up, you make lists of Dailies (stuff you want to do every day), Habits (things you'd like to do more often), and To-Dos - those one off projects that we have to deal with all the time. The more stuff you do, the more rewards you get in the form of gold coins, which you can use to buy armor and, later on, more Class specific things like robes and wands if you choose to become a Mage (choices are Warrior, Mage, Healer, Rogue). You also get special treasure which are called "drops". These are usually either eggs, from which you hatch pets, hatching potions, so you can hatch your army of pets, or food, which you feed to the pets to gain mounts.
There's a lot more to it, but that's the basics. All in all it's pretty freaking adorable.
So why am I telling you about this? Well, one, just because it's kind of a big part of my life right now and a way I try to be more successful in getting stuff done. But two, some of you might find something like this not just helpful, but actively fun! I sure do! And if you think this is something you might benefit from, let me know because you can join my party if you do! The thing that's great about being in a party is that you can go on quests and earn extra-special stuff while having even more of an impetus to get stuff done and do your best.
So if this sounds like something you'd be into, let me know! :D It's fun, it's helpful, it's crazy cute, and it's mildly social too.
