Dailies

dai·ly  /dālē/

done, produced, or occurring every day or every weekday. relating to the period of a single day. HabitRPG uses Dailies to track habits that you want to complete in a known, scheduled, repeatable fashion. This allows you to incorporate a habit into your everyday routine (e.g. working out or flossing) or into a weekly routine (e.g. your Saturday morning call to your Mom). To view examples of Dailies, refer to Sample Dailies.

(For more information on how HabitRPG works, refer to Habits.)

Dailies do not have a plus or minus sign; instead there is a check box that you mark when you complete the task. Every day that you complete a daily creates a streak for that particular task, and you gain both experience and gold. Every day that you miss a daily, you lose health points.

If you are doing well and consistently check off a daily, the task will earn less gold and experience, though it will also cause you to lose less health if you skip it. HabitRPG records how many days you've checked off a daily as a streak.

Conversely, if you are doing poorly and fail to check something off every day, the task will lose more health if you skip it, but earn you more gold and experience when you complete it. You also lose your streak. This encourages you to focus on your shortcomings.

Setting up your Dailies List
HabitRPG automatically comes with three default daily tasks as placeholders to show you how dailies work:



1h Personal Project: Colored yellow for neutral, you're neither good nor bad at accomplishing this task Exercise: Colored green to show you're good at accomplishing this task  45m Reading: Colored Orange/Red to show you're bad at accomplishing this task. To set up your Dailies list:
 * 1) Edit or delete the default dailies.
 * 2) Add one or more dailies.
 * 3) Edit any dallies that need changes.
 * 4) Start tracking!

Sometimes, you will find that a task, such as 'clean the kitchen', has many sub-tasks involved. You can use checklists on dailies to help you keep track of these.
