Success: Still exercising, have now read three and a half psychology textbooks, still using Anki for learning Chinese, moved from contextless Anki cards to multiple cloze massive context as recommmended by AJATT.com My savings continue to grow, which is great.
Failures: Opening Habit RPG got aversive due to me constantly dying due to missing dailies on programming and diary writing so I stopped. I have just realised I should take them out of dailies and put them in habits. I also really need to start doing to do lists and planning things, considering what I want to do, etc.
7.5x congrats Barry!
I feel ya. HabitRPG can be very discouraging when you're dying. Just remember, habitrpg mirrors life. If you don't really need to do something everyday, then why is it killing you to not? One thing I've found helpful: When I'm worried about not getting any of my habits or to-dos done, I don't try to stick them on my dailies instead. Instead, I make it a daily to fill some quota of habits or to-dos. I don't have to get every habit done every day, or keep track of which days I have to either check off or reschedule the daily. It's only vital that I've made some progress.
Reviews are also important. Have you tried Alex Vermeer's Guide?
