Super fun, and life-changing!!
I cannot say enough good things about Habitica! As someone who has major anxiety and Adult ADD, Ive always found staying motivated impossible, and even tiny responsibilities often overwhelming. Habitica turned all of that around! With a clever interface simulating a 16-bit classic RPG, before I knew it I had the positive reinforcement I needed to turn my habits and responsibilities around.
The goals are 100% customized for what YOU would like to improve about your life, but heres a sampling of my personal turn-arounds that this app has facilitated: my house went from being almost always messy (and kitchen dirty) to being pretty consistently clean, Ive started eating better and losing weight, exercising more, getting more sleep, keeping better-informed on world events, saving and keeping better track of my money, and finally starting the process (after several years!) of applying to go back to school. Seriously, its been a game-changer.
They recommend NOT starting off with goals that are too overwhelming, and I completely agree. As you progress and your character grows, youll likely naturally want to make a few more life improvements (and get awesome rewards along the way!). Throughout the game youll level up, eventually get to choose a class, get cool abilities and armor, and find eggs that hatch into a multitude of possible pets, which can often eventually grow into personal steeds!
It gets even better by forming/joining a party with some friends! Youll have help fighting bosses, being buffed by their abilities, and in real life, have even more mutual motivation to stay on top of the things that are important to you!
My only criticisms are that the app does not yet have the full features of the web version, but they are slowly integrating them! And in the meantime, you can always access your account from your phones Internet to get that extra good
stuff. Still, just about everything youll need is right there in the app!
I cant give Habitica enough praise. I highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to make some positive changes in their life.
