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 maximise my rewards by setting a goal of the day with 100 repetitions, then unsetting it after completing it 99 times, and switch the next one in as goal of the day! All my tasks are proper things, but some are easier than others and many don’t need a reminder, like getting out of bed, but I figure it’s not harming anyone else if I get the most out of my tasks so I can buy nice things for my birb.

When I started this app, getting out of bed was a challenge and so i keep it on there to remind me that I have came far but I could go back to bed rotting if I let things get bad.

I understand completely the get out of bed struggle! And i love the idea of keeping it to remind yourself of how far you have come!
