Maybe this is or isn't a bad idea, but I was thinking it would be cool to have some kind of a daily task manager that can turn tasks you make into mini adventures that allow for collecting XP/leveling up, and also have an achievement system. You could basically feed it info about yourself and the tasks you have for the day or week, and then it uses a machine learning dungeon master to turn those goals into fun adventures. Maybe also you could have a choice of settings (fantasy, sci-fi, dark gothic, JRPG, etc.), and of class, race, etc. and it would write out the quests accordingly.

Was just thinking about this because lately I have a hard time motivating myself to do anything at all. Thoughts?

    There's a couple of productivity sites out there along those lines.

    Is the big one, I think. For the longest time I was running my own app based off the Getting Things Done methodology. I found running a time log and gamifying the amount of time per day I was being productive towards my goals to be very hopeful.
