Episode notes

Habitika is an app where you can set tasks and then complete the task to do a little bit of damage to your boss. There's also, there's also dailies. So some things you can set as I need to do this a day, once day, and there's also like bonuses for something like working out. And so people have said that from my time on Habitika they've been buffed up by it. Six packs are not really cool but if you're doing six pushups in between game sets or when I'm waiting to meet with team at certain times, those pack sizes aren't too bad either. They just kind of make each activity more interesting.
