At first I thought that having increasing awards for red tasks would motivate me to procrastinate, but after using HabitRPG for a couple of months, I find that during boss fights, etc, I sweep through my To-Do list regularly, looking for the easy one-offs. The tasks that remain and get the reddest are generally the hardest ones, the ones that take a lot of time or effort, or that I really just don't want to do, and therefore are worth the extra points.

That said, I do love the idea of having a choice of decreasing rewards for some items, like those with due dates.

Currently, for To Do's that are "some day would be nice" type tasks, I decided to make my own private guild. It cost 4 gems, but was worth it to me. I can make private challenges for all of my "later" or "some day" tasks, and just sign up for them when I am ready. It keeps my To Do list uncluttered, and stops the tasks from getting prematurely red.
