The Most Fun You’ll Ever Have With a Habit Journal

Just Roll with It is more than a habit journal; it's a choose-your-own-adventure RPG journal that transforms your personal goals into quests and challenges. By mixing role-playing mechanics with behavior change science, this journal helps you build habits, achieve goals, and become the hero of your own story.

We promise no spam… Just a few notifications when the journal is ready to launch!

Here’s how our unique habit journal works…

Choose Your Hero…

Choose from one of seven unique characters, each with special abilities and traits. The character you choose dictates what area of your life you’ll focus on improving (your “calling”), and which science-based tools (“spells”) you’ll need to master in order to complete the journal.

Explore a Mysterious Realm…

Each day, you’ll move to a new square on the map, leading to a unique encounter in Glimmerwood. Face off against creatures, trade with merchants, learn powerful spells, and uncover hidden secrets. Each square brings a new challenge or opportunity—what will your journey reveal?

Track Your Progress and Level up…

As you navigate challenges within the journal, track your experience points, hit points, and other vital stats—every choice you make shapes your journey. Level up to face more formidable foes, but tread carefully—survival is not guaranteed. Use the dedicated space to reflect, strategize, and document your discoveries in this enigmatic realm. The path to mastery begins with your story—write it well.

Master Science—Based Spells by Applying Them to Your Goals….

Every hero has a unique "Archanum"—a collection of science-based spells to master on your journey. Discover these spells by engaging with key characters in Glimmerwood, then follow your Archanum to align them with your personal calling and forge your path forward.

The Inspiration Behind This Strange, Wonderful Habit Journal

As someone who spent years working in behavioral science—focusing on behavior change, leadership, and motivation—I saw how powerful these tools could be. But honestly? Most of the time, they felt dry, clinical, and hard to apply to everyday life. I found myself reading research papers about how to change behavior… but still struggling to change my own.

Worse yet, when I turned to traditional habit journals, they often felt like a chore—another to-do list with boxes to check. There was no joy, no magic, no sense of adventure.

So I set out to create something different.

Just Roll With It is a habit journal built for people like me—people who want to grow, but crave creativity and play along the way. It combines science-backed habit-building techniques with immersive storytelling, RPG mechanics, and a rich fantasy world. Instead of tracking your habits like a robot, you’ll choose your character, cast spells, explore magical realms, and battle the forces of darkness (a.k.a. your bad habits).

This isn’t just another habit journal. It’s a quest. A game. A journey into the self.

If traditional habit journals don’t work for you, maybe it’s time to try something a little more legendary.
