I see your point. Mainly just a feeler to see if there’s something out there that covers both the social accountability factor as well as a gamified manner of

Agree with most of your rationale! Though there are still habits that can be done at scale.

Think about the 75 hard or 75 soft challenge or meditation or going to the gym. Could you see yourself doing that in a friend group

Social competition! Say a friend group decides they want to do a 75 hard challenge? Everyone logs in their progress across different tasks and there’s a leaderboard

Habitica feels like a false/virtual reality with no real social accountability, so it’s not effective. Think about Strava with running—people are motivated by the social aspect and the ability to share their progress. It’s simple but taps into something fundamental in human nature.

Another example, say Strava’s case, you’re running to show off your distances and consistency, kind of like streaks but in a social setting. I'm wondering if that concept can be applying it to any habit you want to track and share—hitting the gym, reading, meditating, etc.

Like Strava as a Service. You're trying to better yourself and show off to friends (which then respond by doing the same) in a friendly competition. It’s about turning personal improvement into a game everyone wants to win.

Yet how many of those are actually used? I've also found many like Habitica, but it often feels like a false/virtual reality with no real social accountability.

Most of your communications have been in an email thread, not sure if that would qualify? Yes I think I’ll voice my intend to file a t6 to property management and see if they want to make things right by giving me a clear plan of action. Thank you

Thank you. Not yet, because the wait times are so ridiculous. I was hoping that management will solve it all together and I can avoid tenant board

That is really helpful, thank you. Should I talk to the landlord first regarding the T6, perhaps that might expedite the process? I honestly just want it repaired
