heromode can help you stay away from bad habits
Summary

HeroMode can be used in many different ways. In today's post, I describe how I use HeroMode to break my Reddit habit. These are the steps I took:

  • Creating an Adventure called "Bye bye Reddit"
  • Within this Adventure, set up a daily repeat quest for "No Reddit today"
  • I used to browse Reddit most heavily at night, so I have this repeat quest automatically created at 10pm each day
  • Each day, I try to complete the quest of "No Reddit today"
  • With Activity Calendar and Streak, I have been able to stay away from Reddit over the last few months!

using the heromode productivity app to manage and track reading goals
Summary

Motivation for reading was one of our earliest HeroMode use cases. Here are some tips that have worked for us that we hope will also work for you to reach your reading goals:

  • Break down a book into chapters or even pages. Split it into multiple Quests.
  • "Chain up" the quests by using the "Lock Quest" functionality. When you finish a chapter, the next quest will be automatically unlocked!
  • Create Adventures based on how challenging you anticipate the reading goal to be. For a particularly thick and heavy book, you can create an adventure just for this book. Alternatively, you can create an adventure for multiple books - say, based on a topic, theme, or a yearly goal.
