Do you know what habitica is?

in #life6 years ago

If you’ve been having difficulties to keep up and if you are failing on your deadlines for your goals by procrastinating or if you want to change a habit then habitica might be the answer that you are looking for. At its surface habitica is an online game that is made to gamify your life. What does gamifying your life mean? Basically you earn points by doing real life activity/ completing missions – the to-dos, habits and dailies that YOU SET for yourself. Whats the catch if you put your missions to earn points – exp, gold etc then? Not only that but you are the one who can add points with one click when you have done one action. Well this is where it gets interesting, as you are the one who controls yourself and thus you should be honest while playing habitica because if you try and cheat by adding missions and completing them, you can do that, you are lying to yourself and nobody more.

Why would you want to play this game?


Well it is basically simple it helps you get on track with things you do in your life because you have everything in front of you that you set for yourself. If you play the game right when you do some bad habit that you don’t want to have simply click the negative button and lose points in the game. Because of the points system, level system etc. in place it makes it far more interesting to play yourself in REAL LIFE. Points system helps you to be aware of the things you do and how you do them – it will make you to want to get higher lvl, get the better gear etc. and in order to do that you will have to complete things that you set for yourself.

Sometimes it is hard to motivate ourselfs to do something, we’ve all been there but if you are doing things you don’t feel like doing because you see it just another quest in the game where you want to advance and conquer it gives it a bit of new flavor, a new taste that you need to keep yourself moving forward. This is what sets habitica apart from the ordinary task management system – software or even writing down on paper your tasks as it combines the points in game. Not to mention that you can join parties, guilds and play with other people to make it even more fun!

So what exactly can you set as missions in habitica?

  • Habits : don’t have due date and can be done multiple times a day – you can enable or disable positive/negative.
  • Dailies – things you can setup to do like daily or yet for instance every 1st of the month.
  • To-do – tasks you want to do these can have due date but it is not required.


Simply try it for a week or a month and see if it helps you, if it helps you keep motivated then continue to play it. Again be HONEST don’t lie to yourself when playing.

Beauty of the habitica is that you can go to your browser and start to play now and even with mobile applications built for andriod and IOS you can continue to play the game when you are not near your computer. Because of this you can literally play anywhere and at anytime, there is no excuses for you not to try this. Start to see your life as a game and try to level up and become a better person that does the things you know you should do – act today – thank yourself later.
