ok 3 weeks in and I am still wildly charmed by Habitica
Not only does the app do a decent job at gamifying boring everyday life tasks, but what I love the most is how many different guilds/groups and challenges you can join to help keep yourself motivated. Just a few that I’ve found browsing:
EDIT: I just realized all the links below require you to be logged into Habitica to see the guild pages, oops :/ - but at least accounts are free :)
The site devs partner with mental health nonprofit Take This to do challenges that help you learn and practice good mental health - this month’s is about self care and you get a special piece of armor by joining it.
looking for a job right now and need help? Join the Jobseeker’s Guild and start their February Find A Job! challenge.
Super into fanfiction? Join the Fanfiction Connoisseurs and discuss your fave fics in the chat - whether you’re fic author or reader they’ve got challenges for you!
Spur your creativity by joining a Cosplay Guild, the Artists Guild, the Photography Guild, the NaNoWriMo Guild, Knitting And Crocheting, the Bards’ Guild.... so many creative possibilities!
Learn to code in the Developer’s Guild, or find some science and tech study buddies in the STEM guild, or make games in the Game Developer’s Guild, or find and discuss games with LGBTQA+ themes in the Gaymers Guild!
Got ADHD? Join the ADHDers Guild! Autism? The Autistic Adventurers’ Guild is here for you! Chronic Illness? Anxiety? Find advice and camaraderie in guilds created for and by people who share your struggles
Also how cute is this Venture Outside Your Lair guild that encourages you to enjoy the outdoors
This post has already gone on forever and it does no justice to the sheer depth and breadth of groups you can join... Just. what a neat way to find other people who share your interests and motivation to get things done.
