Guide to Habitica

-

 Need some tips on how to begin? Here's a straightforward guide!

Step 1: Enter Tasks

Habitica is nothing without real-world goals, so enter a few tasks. You can add more later as you think of them! All tasks can be added by clicking the green "Create" button.

  • Set up To Do's: Enter tasks you do once or rarely in the To Do's column, one at a time. You can click on the tasks to edit them and add checklists, due dates, and more!
  • Set up Dailies: Enter activities you need to do daily or on a particular day of the week, month, or year in the Dailies column. Click task to edit when it will be due and/or set a start date. You can also make it due on a repeating basis, for example, every 3 days.
  • Set up Habits: Enter habits you want to establish in the Habits column. You can edit the Habit to change it to just a good habit heavy_plus_sign or a bad habit heavy_minus_sign
  • Set up Rewards: In addition to the in-game Rewards offered, add activities or treats which you want to use as a motivation to the Rewards column. It's important to give yourself a break or allow some indulgence in moderation!
  • If you need inspiration for which tasks to add, you can look at the wiki's pages on Sample Habits, Sample Dailies, Sample To Do's, and Sample Rewards.

Step 2: Gain Points by Doing Things in Real Life

Now, start tackling your goals from the list! As you complete tasks and check them off in Habitica, you will gain Experience, which helps you level up, and Gold, which allows you to purchase Rewards. If you fall into bad habits or miss your Dailies, you will lose Health. In that way, the Habitica Experience and Health bars serve as a fun indicator of your progress toward your goals. You'll start seeing your real life improve as your character advances in the game.

Step 3: Customize and Explore Habitica

Once you're familiar with the basics, you can get even more out of Habitica with these nifty features:

  • Organize your Tasks with tags (edit a Task to add them).
  • Customize your Avatar by clicking the user icon in the upper-right corner.
  • Buy your Equipment under Rewards or from the Shops, and change it under Inventory > Equipment.
  • Connect with other users via the Tavern.
  • Hatch Pets by collecting Eggs and Hatching Potions. Feed them to create Mounts.
  • At level 10: Choose a particular Class and then use Class-specific skills (levels 11 to 14).
  • Form a Party with your friends (by clicking Party in the navigation bar) to stay accountable and earn a Quest scroll.
  • Defeat monsters and collect objects on Quests (you will be given a quest at level 15).

Gamification in Application !

-
How Do You Gamify An App? To implement gamification in your app, you need to start with the design elements, and then proceed with the gamification workflow. The design elements are typically as follows: Badges.  These are a visual representation of users’ achievements, which indicate their performance within the app. For example, some fitness trackers introduce badges based on the number of steps that the user has walked throughout the use of the fitness app. Levels.  These are the parts of the game world. With each level, the complexity of the game increases, challenging the user to get further. Performance charts.  These graphs show how the player performed in comparison with their previous results and track their individual records. Points.  These are basic rewards that the user gets for their accomplishments as they progress within the game.   Scoreboards.  These are lists with player rankings that help to define who performs best in a certain activity. Unlike performance charts t

The Most Effective Way to Memorize Proven by World Memory Champions

-
Ever wondered why Memory Champions can memorize a deck of cards in less than 20 seconds? Well, everyone can do it! Here's how: The human brain memorizes information much better in the form of images. Mindless reciting, on the other hand, is extremely inefficient because it simply does not work in favor of the brain. The most common method that all mental athletes use is the Memory Palace aka the method of loci. The Steps To Using The Memory Palace: 1. Imagine a place that you are very familiar with such as your house or your school. Imagine that you are outside the entrance.  2. Pick a list of items that you want to memorize. If it is a list of words that can be easily turned into pictures (ie: apples, bananas, tree, house, card), imagine an apple appearing on the ground next to the door of the place you pictured earlier. 3. Open the door and walk in your house. When you open the door, the first thing you see is a banana.  4. Imagine a small tree appearing 2 inches in front of

What to do during Personal Downfall?

  The need for backward engineering . I think I am accurate in saying that very few people, myself included, who are trying to create serious games for wellness think like this – i.e., like a game designer – about the process of gamification. From what I can tell, game designers think very deeply about the experience they want the game to promote, and then they work through the pragmatics of the game play that will facilitate this experience. This backward engineering from the point of view of the aesthetic/experiential goal to the pragmatics of the game is the opposite of what psychologists do when they think about gamification. Instead, we have parallel streams of development in which (a) we know that our “game” (read scientific protocol) is truly boring, and (b) we have to somehow decrease the snore factor. We think: “Hm, here is my very rigid experimental protocol/computerized intervention. I must overlay this protocol with some cute little animated guys, perhaps with a fun back-st
