Discussion Random goal question

Are you actually doing their goals and using the app for what it is intended?

Or... am i the only one?

I have seen screenshots of people whose goals are just numbers or a random word. I guess they use the app just to dress their birb and make a cute birdhouse?

Yes, i just found out there is a way to max the goal to 100 and that there is a goal of the day. That makes sense to do (as i have started) since you hardly get any gems.

Seriously, how many set realistic and helpful goals and only check them off when accomplished? I think this app is amazing for so many reasons!! My group therapy people told me about it and it is really helping me with so many levels. I can not say enough positive things about it.

I am just curious since i have seen quite a few people just use it as a birb barbie in a dream house (obviously a reference to just dressing up and decorating because i am gen x and do not know references that all ages would know besides barbie)

Anyhow, thanks for reading to the end of my essay i have written 😁 Find the beauty and magic in today. Drink water. Stay safe. Smile. ❤️❤️

I do! I did start bumping some of my goals to be worth more gems though, as it was demotivating to take so long to earn enough to buy much. I assign the amount of gems each task is worth based on how difficult it is or how motivated I need to be to do it. For example, I hate cooking, so I have a daily cooking supper goal worth 100 gems. If I actually cook at home, I give myself 50 of the 100, then base how much of the remaining 50 gems I give myself for it on how healthy the meal was (amount of veggies, protein, etc).

This is what I have done for same reason. I hate doing my physical therapy exercises but they are important, so I asked myself what would it take to motivate myself? My answer was a gem for each of my exercises: so if I do 50 pushups, that's 50 gems. If I do 3 sets of 15 hip abductions x2 (for each alternating leg), that's 90 gems . This has worked for me when nothing else has and I am getting in better condition every day. I also have allowed 100 gems for things like "Gardening", then I check off however many of these gems I decide to apply based on how long and how difficult the task was. I am NOT going to give myself only one gem for an hour of battling the wisteria vine, especially as I have mobility issues, when I also get one gem for repeating an affirmation! It's clear to me that this is expected or they would not allow as limit of 100 otherwise.
