I signed up for HabitRPG a couple of weeks ago, and so far have experienced a couple of probably obvious things:

  • A habit that isn't a member of a block of routines usually gets overlooked.
  • It is a hassle to taskify a project that has a snappy title, but a to-do list that isn't taskified is a never-actually-do list. So it's probably worth the time.
  • Getting dressed, having breakfast, and writing the day's schedule or to-dos before I start on the day's major task makes it a lot easier to work on the major task. Physical considerations aside (e.g., easier to concentrate when I'm not hungry), it seems like I'm not less distractible when fed and dressed, but I'm less likely to turn getting distracted into Oh No, I'm Distracted and end up in a distraction spiral.
