App Suggestion:
https://habitica.com/ – available for Android, iPhone and desktop web browser.
This is an app with which you can turn your life into a game.
Set yourself IRL tasks and dailies, and completing them will level up your in-game character. Buy gear, fight bosses in a party, and raise pets to mounts, all by reaching your daily goals!
The app can be used for all kinds of purposes:
• living healthier by setting it your daily goal to eat a fruit or drink some juice, to go outside for a while, or to drink some water regularly
• getting order into your life by setting your daily goal to clean for 10 minutes
• practicing sketching by setting your daily goal to draw one sketch every day
• finishing long term projects by motivating yourself to do a little something for it every day
• acquiring a better sleep schedule by rewarding yourself for every night you slept more than × hours, or for every night you went to bed before a given time
• etc.
It applies an instant gratification for every good thing you do. Reward yourself with some EXP and in-game coins for every good habit, get rid of bad habits by losing health every time you admit to having done one of them.
