User blog comment:Sdevine/Thoughts about HabitRPG and gamification/@comment-24480866-20140425043327

I haven't specifically used HabitRPG to curb my gaming obsession, but it's helped. I'm another compulsive completionist. I'm thinking that's the ideal Habit user. ;)

I do sometimes worry that I focus too much on the "game" side of Habit and not enough on the "productivity app" side. When I get into a game, I always strive for 100% completion. When a game doesn't have a strictly defined ending point, I start making up my own mastery goals, which is what I'm starting to do with Habit. Sure, sure, there's getting every mount and achievement, but... what about getting the max amount of every item? What about completing every quest enough times to max out the achievement badges? How long would it take to New Game + 100 times? I've certainly concocted enough ways to lock myself in for the long haul, but this probably isn't the kind of stuff I should be fixating on when I log in every day.
