Habitica: Gamified Taskmanager Software

This game is it. It’s adorable and easy to use. So your chores or projects or just daily habits you want to make routine are rewarded instantly. (You know us millennials with our instant gratification) You might one day go for a run and pick up an egg! Panda, wolf, dragon? You may stumble upon a quest to complete with your friends, or you can just hack away at your own habits; either way it’s a great idea. This app has helped me immensely. I’ve always wanted to have a routine because humans are generally happier when they follow one. I just couldn’t force myself to do things like get out of bed before 9 or brushing my hair or doing my school work. I have moderate to severe depression which makes day to day habits that most people do without thinking a lot more difficult for me. Even things like just driving to the pharmacy to get my anti depressants. So if I find something difficult, I put it in my this app list and it gives me an extra nudge of motivation. Five stars for sure.

I literally love everything about this app. It got my entire life together. I credit it for my productivity in every aspect. It really is perfectly tailored for the user. A couple reasons why you should totally get this app: -The combination of ways to write tasks is soooo convenient! There are dailies for what you do on a repeated day to day or week to week basis, habits for things you want to do but aren’t quite doing every day yet, and a to-do list. This way I can keep “brush your teeth”, “keep your room clean”’ and “organize your desk” separated by appropriate category. -The gaming aspect is AWESOME! With other apps you check something off your todo and then that’s it. No real reward. With this app I get excited to level up or buy new items for my avatar! Plus I can make my own rewards so I can buy myself set rewards like “go out for ice cream” with currency I earn by completing my tasks. -With every missed daily or negative habit you lose life. This keeps me motivated to stay on top of things. But if I do fall behind, I just have to work a bit harder to buy a healing potion that can bring my health back up. I have to use the same gold that would be going towards my rewards otherwise, so it’s good motivation to stay productive. Honestly, just give this app a try. It’s really worth it. If you’re the type to be motivated by games, leveling up, and earning rewards, this is definitely the best app you can have for this type of thing.

I absolutely love using this app. I have tried almost every task manager/habit forming/list/calendar app you can imagine to try and motivate myself and keep my tasks organized. This is the one that did it for me. It’s kept me super motivated and focused on what I need to get done on the daily and I love having a little character that I can level up. It’s such a great idea, and it’s executed so well. If you’re lacking that little bit of extrinsic motivation to finish I really recommend this app! However, it does have a few glitches here and there. Nothing major that would turn me away, but it times out on occasion, and organizing tasks is a little tricky. The task your creating either disappears or re-organizes itself back to where it originally was which is kind of annoying. Exiting out of the app always fixed this, but it does need fixing on the teams end. Besides that, everything is amazing! Keep up the good work!
