Daily Bounties

Gamifying my recurring tasks and making it easy to generate ToDo lists for any occasion.

Motivation

I'm an avid lister and I'm constantly writing out ToDo lists in my notebooks and on my whiteboards. Over time I found myself running into a few issues with my existing system pretty consistently. My whiteboards had pretty limited space and I would need to keep erasing old lists and sometimes there's nothing as satisfying as seeing a long list of checked off items. In my notebooks I would often end up with lists that were pretty scattered around and the thought of re-writing and re-organizing everything by hand is usually pretty daunting (Maybe I'll give Bullet Journaling a try someday...). Recurring and long term tasks were another issue that either required monopolizing space on the whiteboard to provide a constant reminder (even if I sometimes didn't want it) or writing the same thing over and over again everyday (I'm looking at you 'Gym'). I finally decided I needed a new system that would address these issues and figured I might as well build one myself.

Vision

The inspiration for this new system actually came from video games and the pretty typical Bounty/Contract/Objective system that can be found across many games. I drew the most inspiration from games that I've probably sunk too much time into, namely Destiny 2 and The Finals.

Feature Goals

Create bounties to track tasks.

Generate ToDo list based on a Bounty playlist.
