Board Thread:The Archery - LFG/@comment-24475708-20140210002331

Hi all,

We're a group of four at the moment between levels 10 and 30, looking to add one or two more to our ranks. (The following will seem very familiar if you've been on our original LFG thread; sorry for the repetition, but we figured it would make more sense to have an official recruitment thread now that the group is officially up and running.)

What we're looking for: If you meet all those requirements, we would love to have you in the party! As soon as we fill out our ranks, we'll get started on questing right away. We have Trapper Santa lined up first, and we'll progress from there, so that might be a consideration if you've already done some questing.
 * University (college) students. Exact level of study isn't super important. Being somewhere in Europe or the UK is a plus, just for time zone reasons. This isn't an entirely hard line, so if you're not strictly in university, but still in a similar situation, we can roll with that.
 * Those who are (at least partly) using HabitRPG for academically related motivation and productivity.
 * Active users who will use the party chat and try to get to know other members.
 * Super encouraging people who will hold their other party members accountable and help them find motivation when needed (whether it's sharing tips and advice, or just cheering them on).

If you're interested in joining, fill out this form and post it below. The group will deliberate and send out invites based on who seems like they'll fit in best while also adding some diversity.

Here's my original form, for reference:

Username on HabitRPG: sd

User-ID: de174025-5a1b-4f65-9d60-6b3374a60258

Where you're from: New York, USA

Where you're currently studying: Oxford, England

Your degree: BA English and Philosophy

Current year: 3rd year (junior)

Worst study habits: I often have a hard time sitting down and banging out a good few hours of work. Too often I'll do an hour or two, get distracted by something else, and then be behind. This leads to a lot of nights where I have to stay up later than I'd like to cramming or writing an inevitably sloppy essay.

What good study habits do you want to cultivate?: I'm trying to work on getting more work done more frequently, and doing it in places that are conducive to working rather than staying in my room.

Examples habits/dailies/to-dos you find especially helpful: I've been adding "Do X hours of work" as dailies in order to encourage myself to actually sit down and get busy. I have 1hr, 3hrs (with 2hrs as a checklist), 5hrs (with four as a checklist) as dailies, so I'll get penalised if I do less. I've also put "6 or more hours of work" as a positive habit so I can reward myself if I have a really good day. Otherwise, to encourage myself to get enough sleep and not procrastinate, I have "No computer/screentime after midnight" as a daily.

Interests outside of your degree: I'd really like to learn more about computer science and coding. I feel like I've wasted way too many hours of my life messing around on a computer to have as little under-the-hood knowledge as I do.

Hobbies/Pastimes: I love being outside – hiking, cycling, rowing. It's unfortunately quite hard here because, if it's not raining, it's always just rained, or is about to rain. When that happens, if I'm not working, I try to spend time hanging out with friends, or reading for pleasure.

What are you thinking of doing after your degree?: God, I really have no idea. As I've spent more time thinking about it, I've figured out what I definitely don't want to do – investment banking, management consulting, probably not medicine, that sort of thing (no offense meant, just not cut out for it) – but really made very little progress in the positive direction.
