User blog:Icey29/How I Use Habits

taldin suggested I do a blog entry about how I use Habitica and what I do with my Habits. I decided to follow their advice.

As I mentioned on my profile, I joined Habitica with a bunch of my friends to improve our schoolyear habits. I really liked the community aspects of the site and felt it would be cool to contribute. The wiki seemed to be the only place that I had reliable experience with, so I hopped in. (I might help with some art later)

On a day-to-day basis, I set myself reminders (tasks) for what I need to get done at home and throughout the day in tasks to make sure I get everything necessary done. This includes specific bits of homework, projects, and family/house stuff. (This has been extremley benificial) My habits include eating healthy snacks as opposed to cookies, making sure I shampoo my hair well, and making sure I floss my teeth. I've gotten better at these things already!

My dailies include homework, drawing, swimming (on fridays), and feeding my pet Lizard, among other things. It's all there to keep everything in check, especially since everything is so hectic during the school year.

Occasionally I set myself tasks as goals that would normally be part of my dailies to encourage me to get to my next activity. (Such as: 'Finish the Summary portion of your book report'.)

That's it. Nice to meet everybody.
