HabitRPG

Been getting a few members of the team into a new (ish) website called HabitRPG. It's a habit-building website, that applies the process of "gamification" to your life, treating it like an RPG (sort of along the lines of SuperBetter).

You're able to start off the game by choosing any of the typical party roles--rogue, warrior, mage, or healer. You can join parties with your friends to take on boss battles and shared task lists (I'm currently fighting Trapper Santa, and he's a real doozy). You level up as you succeed with accomplishing your daily habits, daily tasks, and to-do lists... you lose HP for neglecting any of these tasks... and you gain money through the process to buy weapons and armor to further defend yourself.

Originally, I had learned about this through Kickstarter and have watched the site grow by leaps and bounds. The mobile app allows you to update your tasks while on-the-go, whether you have an iPhone or an Android.

If you want that extra little bit of motivation to better your life, and find that turning things into a game helps, it's definitely worth checking out!
