I feel like we have lots of work to get on with, and balancing both VEX.blue and my own personal life as well as other projects is a lot of work. This is why I started looking for ways that I can 'reward' my efforts working on all of the personal, company and other projects that I have got my hands in.
To do this I was looking for some good Gamified Trackers for Points or Coins for each task. There is some really promising apps with just the idea that I'd want for this sort of thing but they sadly didn't have all the functions I wanted like a web version for use on my PC well I work or just the ability to turn the application on my iPad so I could have it sitting horizontally on my desk well I worked.
The only Gamified Task Manager app I could find and actually try out (and for Free at that) was Habitica a Habit Tracking RPG-like app / website. This seems promising and through the next few weeks I will be trying it out to see if it can help my workflow.
What are some of my IRL Rewards?
You are probably wondering what I have chosen for some of my IRL rewards for competing my tasks. First of all, I'm still adding Rewards so this is most likely going to change over time.
My cheapest reward for 10 coins is Purchasing a New Movie or TV Show, I love my TV Shows and Movies and like to purchase them off AppleTV so why not make it apart of my process of working well.
My other rewards are mainly technology / gear I would like to purchase to adapt / improve my workflow. "Sam, why not purchase these right now if they are going to improve your workflow", Well not all of them are priced cheaply, so I will have to save for them either way. So why not try and work for them through working on myself and the projects I should be working on anyway.
If you have any suggestions for rewards, tasks or anything else then feel free to reply to this post.
