Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I play?
You select a level. I recommend Beginnersā since this just started.
For each completed task, you get experience (XP). The more experience you get, you will level up and after so much experience will be my suggested level up to the next level.
What is a side quest (In real life)?
Definition: Optional goals or hobbies that enrich your life beyond your main responsibilities.
Purpose: To provide enjoyment, new experiences, and personal growth.
Examples:
Learning to play a musical instrument
Taking a class, such as cooking or a workout class
Volunteering
Exploring a new neighborhood
What is the main quest or storyline then (in real life)?
Youāre living it. Youāre the main character of your life.
Side Quest (In Video Game)
What are the level and experience to level up? What are each level?
No XP required. Everyone starts as a Beginner (Novice). It is breathtaking that youāre here and want to do more by taking care of yourself, mind and body. I BELIEVE IN YOU!
Beginner (Novice): You are starting to come to the blog as much as you can to complete the assigned tasks. You are building a habit of taking better care of yourself and life. Keep going. I believe in you. #beginner
XP Required to level 20,000. YOU HAVE BECOME AN ADVANCED BEGINNER! Wooht! Youāve taken the first step towards getting stuff done and youāre doing great. Keep at it. STICK TO IT; YOU CAN DO THIS!
Advanced Beginner: You are continuing to building the habit of completing needed tasks and starting to more complex tasks. You might be making your own tasks list but do not always get things done. Thatās ok. Keep going! #advanced beginner
XP Required to level 60,000 YOU HAVE BECOME COMPETENT! Yes! Astonishing! Beautiful! Youāre on it! I AM ROOTING FOR YOU!
Competent: You are choosing to continue, to keep look at the blog posts and completing the tasks. You have this habit down and working towards taking care of yourself and your life. Youāre able to even complete youāre own tasks but may still be overwhelmed or taking on too much. Remember to just get started and do one task at a time. #competent
XP Required to level 150,000. YOU BECOME PROFICIENT! Keep going! Youāre doing amazing! YOU CAN DO THIS!
Proficient: You are still choosing to use the blog and its posts to keep going. You are dedicated. You want to maintain this habit and completed the recommended tasks to improve your life. Youāre even able to make your own task list for why you need to do. DONāT overwhelm yourself or take on too much. Keep going
XP Required to level 400,000. YOU HAVE COME AN EXPERT! I am so proud of you. Look where you are. KEEP GOING; LETāS DO THIS TOGETHER.
Expert: You got it down. This is the habit you wanted and youāre coming back to keep it going. I am so proud of you for getting here and just amazed. Thank you for your dedication
Where is you get the idea for the blog?
I honestly got the follow through/encouragement to make the blog from a tumblr post.
My husband has come up with this idea years ago. It worked great, to be honest. I am audhd (autistic and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder) as are our children. Finding a way for them to feel good and inspired to complete the task.
We are also tabletop roleplay games. We play pathfinder 2.0 and most of the editions of Dungeons and Dragons.
We are really storytellers that use the games to have cooperative storytelling with others.
I thought why not do it here too. š
Where did the levels come from?
The Dreyfus model of Skill Aquisition
Wikipedia
National Institute of Health
Boston Univ Medical Campus
These donāt seem to be what is recommended. Why the change?
I wanted it to be more gamified, so I made it more like that.
Would you be up for suggestions and feedback on what you post?
Yes! I would love suggestions and/or feedback. I canāt improve the blog and what is posted unless you help me. I will be doing these tasks too.
Why did you decide on no classes, races, game-like missions or dungeon delves?
While I have run many tabletop roleplaying games and even done live action role play (LARP), making my own world up without the copyright issues is difficult for me. I thought I would just start it and see where the interest is. Where it is goes? Hence why the move for suggestions and/or feedback.
Can I request tasks to be added to the side quests?
Yes! I take requests; however, they may not be at the level you would like. Here are how the different levels are defined in accordance with the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition:
Note: there are two scales. One is the basic which I used while the other is a more details information with the same intent.
