Inspiration

"Life has to be more than just about solving problems. It should... create the sense of adventure." (Elon Musk)

I want to make a gift for those, who, like me, have long suffered from learned helplessness and boredom. People are designed to dream, discover and create new worlds.

Usually there's some framework to help - be it university or the office (haha!). But what if there isn't any? Some people go by themselves fine - and some get stuck just killing time, trying to just last another day. I want to help them.

Try and give them motivation to make their days count, make their days more interesting, engaging and inspiring. Make every step forward memorable. :)

This one goes to the category of "life after the pandemic" - I want to save lives afterwards - actually make the lives happen. Make lives out of potentially wasted time. :)

What it does

It's a digital assistant that applies game mechanics to personal goal management in order to help people accomplish their daily tasks with the same level of Flow they get in computer games. Help and encourage them to make small steps toward their goals and dreams every day.

How I built it

Some Python and Telegram API (thanks, guys!). (I'm sorry for no neuralnets just yet :D)

What's next for 2boldlygo

I'll have to deploy it and ensure people get to actually use it. :) Because the game actually begins, when real people get to try and give their feedback! For the long time I was the only user.

But I firmly believe, that it could benefit somebody else. If it's only one person on Earth, who gets the necessary motivation and inspiration to move forward, I will consider my task complete.

Thanks for reading!
