User blog:Waldere/An Observation

It is not ironic to become obsessed with a productivity app that treats work like a game. That is the ideal outcome of such an app: to transform what was once a chore into something you want to do.

It is, however, ironic to become obsessed with the game elements and community surrounding said app, such that finishing your work becomes an ever-shrinking fraction of the time you spend with it.

At the end of the day, though, I prefer this to any other game obsession I could currently have. My priorities when using HabitRPG might be a little skewed, but I never feel like I'm wasting my time, only misplacing it sometimes. I would rather get lost on a path going moving than stand still and forget I was moving.
