HabitRPG has saved my life.

That is a big and ugly lie.

It sure sounds a lot more impressive than 'HabitRPG has kept my lazy ass moving towards my stupid goals'. Since I've joined Habit on January 2nd, 2014 most of my goals were to keep doing what I usually do just not do it half-assed. It worked, project 'Full-Assed' was a success! It still is a success, I've finally gotten my act together and do good things for myself consistantly.

Blaa...

I don't over eat, I exercise, I take care of the stupid 'disease' that I have, I brush my teeth more than once a day. Boring.

Sure, my to-do list is rocking. Everything that I usually forget about gets added and eventually gets done. Boy howdy, I'm a real go-getter!

And then there was blood!

By blood I mean Esperanto... and this is where the theme of 'boring' gets bumped for the theme of 'awesome-sauce'.

I know, Esperanto... a made up language, blaa blaa blaa. Forget that. Sure, it's 'construsted' but focus. This isn't about Esperanto. This is bigger, this is huger even. This is about me actually doing something different. This is about me, Mr. Status Quo, doing something other than coast on by.

Fuck yeah!

### END OF PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ###

In the 28 days since I've started to learn Esperanto, I've been using HabitRPG for the crazy purpose of keeping myself on track with the language learning plan that I drew out on the first of October. I'm actually doing something new and exciting. I created dailies to water everything on memrise (it's memrise jargon) and then to plant more things on memrise (more jargon). I report what I'm doing to my party, and that's a daily. Every half-hour I spend learning Esperanto means I click on my 'Learn Esperanto' habit. Every course that I do gets its own to-do for my to click off.

That plan is working. The plan is only working because of HabitRPG.

I get it now. I finally get it.
