Gamify Your Life with Habitica, A To-Do List RPG To Get Things Done

Habitica is a free habit-building and productivity app that helps you treat parts of your life like a game aka to gamify your life. Habitica can help you achieve whatever kind of goals you’d like to do. Maybe you want to improve your work life, improve healthy habits, or anything else you want. In this video, I show you how to use Habitica and even some pro tips to get started with this really cool to-do app. Ryan from the DasGeek channel and my co-host from Destination Linux and Hardware Addicts podcasts joins me in this video to talk about how he uses Habitica . . . which is great since he was the one who convinced me to use it.

I’ve been using Habitica for a year (every day). It really does mimic that desire to do something boring (or fun) for fake rewards in a video game. When i’m about to close out the day, i look at my daily tasks and see that i have not cleaned the cat box. If i refuse, i lose HP. So i sigh, clean it, and get my fake rewards (and feel rewarded for some reason (maybe dopamine idk)).

I've been searching this type of software but foss for years but couldn't find anything that is open source until you uploaded this video. Thank you for sharing this video!

"Reality Is Broken" by Jane McGonigal is a great book all about how gamification can improve productivity/outcomes.

Where is the app I want to download, I think this will be a huge impact towards me

Many years ago there was an app (still is), called "lvl up life". Basically same, but with less visuals maybe.

This is pretty cool, but it sounds like another tool that you probably spend more time with than on actual working

I think I had some bug or problem with it, I forget exactly, I think it was gold or something going negative and having to create a task to fix it? Also it was kinda separate from my existing task list in other software, maybe if it offered some integration with other things it might be more useful?

I wonder what would stop someone from just cheating? I mean how can the game know if you ran your mile, bathed your dog...???
