Thank you for expressing interst in us; the group is interested in knowing more about you. It's important that we find a good fit since having people depart suddenly is no fun at all. Would you mind sharing with us a little more about your expectations for Habit and how you think it will help you this time (what's different since you first joined)?

What are your expectations of fellow party members?

Where are you located (country/city)?

There is a measure of accountability that the party provides and we do certainly support each other in our goals however, the vast majority of the motivation needs to come from within. Our party is currently 5 individuals and we usually check in a couple times a day; does that sound like it will be supportive enough?

Thanks, look forward to hearing back from you. I'm a Lithuanian living in Germany.

What makes it different this time? Oh, where should I start...

To make a long story longer, the first time around I relied on myself alone to fight my dailies and never ending to-dos. I treated HabitRPG more or less like a mere tasks app, and for this purpose, let's be honest, it was too cumbersome to use.

While I did not have any success in convincing my friends to join me on HabitRPG, they were much more eager to try out Duolingo, which I use to improve my German. There I have discovered how much fun it is comparing my progress with a progress of a limited group of others. Today I'm on a 67 day streak there, if that tells you anything about my dedication and ability to stick to something.

I have realized that having peers on HabitRPG should work the same, but instead of putting hopes in my lazy friends, I'm turning to already existing dedicated members. I have read more about how things work in HabitRPG, I have joined many challenges, I have joined some gilds, but what I really need is my own gang of like-minded people. Ironically, I am not a very social person, and prefer reading chats to actually participating, but when somebody makes me talk, I tend to talk a lot. So, beware, you've been warned ;)

Since re-joining HabitRPG, I have trippled my daily XP on Duolingo, I'm managing to gulp my 2 liters of water a day, make my bed every morning, take my vitamins, exercise and do so much more. So, I guess, it is already helping; and the best part is that whenever I reward myself, I know that I really deserve it. That Dread Drag'on of Dilatory is also encouraging me to contribute more, and makes me so much more eager to go on other quests.

My expectations of fellow party members are quite simple actually: I want to have somebody to look up to and could use some friendly competition to step up my game. Receiving advice or being able to discuss strategies of how to deal with common problems and reach similar goals would be an additional bonus.

I like it how selective you are about your party members, and it definitely looks like a perfect place for me. I hope I did not scare you off by being honest. If you take me in, I'll do my best to not disappoint you.



Cheers,

Mi. (f597dea6-0c50-47c4-ae7f-9b255305411d)
