Ask HN: TODO list with points system to spend on rewards you assign
The general idea, is that you assign a score for each task, and whenever you finish that task, you get points equal to the score you assigned, and on the side, you'd have a list of rewards each with a number of points where you can choose which one to spend your points on. I looked all over the internet for something similar, but nothing popped up.
- tonteldoos 10y agoAre you asking whether we would use such a system, or whether we know of one? If it's the latter, I don't know of one, but it's certainly not impossible. If it's the former...I've toyed with gamifying my todo lists, but found some drawbacks to the idea: - It adds more time to an already demanding and tedious task - It's hard to objectively award rewards to yourself - Since there is no real 'competition', the points system becomes a bit meaningless when it operates in a vacuum Generally, I find that completing a task (any task) and not having to worry about it anymore, is reward enough ;-)
- ak4g 10y agoJust put them all on the same list and use negative points for the rewards. A spreadsheet would work perfectly.
