RPG style buJo?
Since I started bujoing, I've always ended up flavoring mine like RPG games, inspired by TTRPG's like dungeons and dragons AND like video-game RPG's
I'm also someone who has some seeerious serious organization and procrastination issues. I can seriously neglect doing important stuff so having good systems in place is a life changer.
Anyway journaling is the best thing I've found and I love bujo as a base for a journal. I tried gamification apps like habitica but found they were TOO much of a game, and the rewards were all just artificial. I didn't feel like it was actually helping me in real life, and it was a pain to keep track of.
I had a look into some other Life RPG systems and they all also seemed painfully hard to use, because they were too system heavy. So I'm trying to make something that strikes a nice balance between those things. So that instead of trying to make an RPG game out of your life, you are trying to just look at your life, like you're a character in an RPG, if that makes any sense at all.
Have a look at these messy pictures of how I'm structuring it out (Note: These are old pics and I'm actually trying to strip it back even more...), my ultimate goal is a system that is flavoured like an RPG, but doesn't get in your way and actually helps you level up real life habits/skills, instead of being another chore to get through. I do software as well so trying to get some digital helpers for character creation/quest writing/XP tracking. So the system side is easier.
Unhinged rant over, anyone experimented with this over a long time?
