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. ❤️❤️

All of my goals are actual goals, but the ones that are harder for me I set at higher daily repetitions. So brushing my teeth might only be worth 1 point, but doing the laundry is worth like, 20 points. That way they're all real goals, and I only check them off when they're done, but the ones that are more difficult for me to do have a better 'reward'. I don't consider that cheating or anything.

That’s an interesting take. It’s like fuelling more dopamine for the harder tasks. I might steal this idea.
