Habitica and its ilk are apps that seek to mimic an MMORPG where the main mechanic is setting real world tasks and completing them instead of fighting monsters.
Each task you complete nets you some gold and exp, which goes towards tricking out your pixel art character. Failing a task deals damage to you, and dying loses your gold and items.

If you've used Habitica or something like it before, feel free to share your experience.

personal testimony


I've been using Habitica for the past few days and it's been very beneficial, although at no point did I feel like I was actually playing a game. This is because in most games I tend to look for exploits and loopholes to abuse to munchkin it up, but this is the antithesis of that as there's literally nothing preventing you from making a bunch of fake to-dos and checking them off rapidly to rack up as many points as you want. Nothing except your own desire to use this tool to actually improve yourself. It's a self discipline aid, so you get as much out of it as you are willing to put in.
