Create Your Story – A Notion RPG Life Template to Gamify Your Goals

What if your life felt like the most addictive RPG you’ve ever played?

If you’ve ever wished your planner could reward you like a video game does—this is your sign.

I spent months obsessively building a system that finally makes life feel more fun, aesthetic, and yes… rewarding AF. Why? Because I’m lazy perfectionist, I overthink, and I LOVE loot bags.

Like you, I struggled to stay consistent with habits, goals, and routines. Most of the time I fail spectacularly at being an adult coz all I wanted to do was play games, read, binge series and eat my fave snacks. So I looked for something that will level up my mindset and my whole life.

However, most templates felt too cold or clinical — I wanted something cozy, playful, and emotionally rewarding. I wanted a system where progress felt like play — like I was leveling up in a game, not just checking boxes on a to-do list. I wanted to see pop-ups on my screen telling me I got rewarded for doing the bare minimum. I only get those pop-ups from sketchy websites sooooooo.......

....I created Pixel Cozy: a place to track your quests, complete daily missions, and grow at your own pace — all while earning XP, gold, and mana along the way. This Notion RPG life template is the exact system I never knew I needed to gently gamify my routines and fall in love with my goals again.

With XP, gold, mana, and habit tracking—all built into one aesthetic system—I actually wanted to open my planner.

Here's a blog post from Amy about what she thought when she used Pixel Cozy.

Even though I am stressed and busy, I am DOING IT. I have plugged in about ten or so daily habits that I am trying to ritualize: workouts, vitamins, smoothie breakfasts, daily cleaning habit, daily plant care, working on a product to sell, posting on social media, cooking a healthy meal to name a few. I think that it is really going to help me stay ritualized throughout the summer.

I have also plugged in a few negative habits that take away points! I have such fun each morning checking off my habits and earning points! I will admit however, that I have not been as diligent in reporting my negative habits to the game! Oh man. I can see that this is a challenge! I am only cheating myself!

When I first downloaded the template, I could not figure it out! So I reached out to Elle and she was super responsive! In fact, she added a ton of new instructions based on my feedback that same afternoon! I felt so special! And her new instructions got me off and running with the new template. 

💎 What You Get in Pixel Cozy:

✅ XP, HP, MP, Coins — earn rewards for everything from brushing your teeth to sleeping early. Even for drinking water.

✅ Quests, Projects, and Streaks — track goals like RPG side missions and see your progress while you're at it.

✅ Avatar, Skills & Leveling — watch yourself grow in real-time and actually feel it.

✅ Wishlist + Shopping Mall — get XP, HP & MP whenever you spend coins. Yes. Even shopping is a quest that gives you coins, yipeeeee! It's like your in-game purchases where you spend real money to get loot bags 💰💰💰

✅ Self-Care Corner — Gain rewards even for resting and self-care (yes, for real).

✅ Meal planner, content planner, finances, mood tracker and more. It’s truly all-in-one. Nothing else you will ever need. This RPG planner is designed to be played FOR LIFE!

This isn’t just a planner — it’s a life-long RPG system you’ll want to come back to. Even when you fall off, it resets with you. Just like any good game should.

This all-in-one RPG template is perfect for:​

🎮 Gamers who want to turn life into a quest log

✨ Freelancers managing creative chaos

🧠 Overthinkers craving clarity

🎓 Students trying to stay functional

🌱 Anyone with executive dysfunction who still wants to thrive

—and literally anyone who gets more excited about leveling up a Skyrim character than a real-life goal.

No need to be consistent. No need to be perfect. The system gently resets. No shame. Just play again tomorrow.

🧍‍♀️ Avatar – You Are the Main Character

This is where your cozy RPG chapter begins. Create your digital self, track your growth, and watch your stats evolve as you live your life.

🎁 Your REWARD – Budgeting, but Make It Fun

You know that feeling when you suddenly find money from one of your pockets? It gives us a boost, right?

It makes us think "Hey I'm not broke yet" 😂😂😂 That feeling is what we want to recapture.

In this Life RPG, feel free to pat yourself on the back. You'll realise, 'Hey I'm not doing so bad, after all'.

With all the quests you've done, all the grinding, you finally feel NOT guilty for taking your time to relax.

Joyful moments are fleeting, so let's multiply them however we can.

Let's face it. The grinding never stops. Once we're done with a task, out comes another. More difficult, more stressful.

This time though, no matter how overwhelmed you become, you'll get a reward by the end of it.

This is the promise of this advanced, comprehensive and cozy RPG planner.

Imagine overwhelming tasks as boss fights and instead of feeling anxious, you get to anticipate the reward that you'll receive by the end. Big project? 1000 XP. Annoying micromanaging boss? + 2000XP & 5000 Coins 😂😂😂

Once you're done, you'll finally afford to play games for a week.

Instead of feeling guilty by NOT finishing some of your tasks and taking the weekend off, you'll be able to tell yourself "I earned this!"

Here’s what your Reward page helps you do:

• 💰 Intuitive Budget Tracker — Make budgeting fun! Every expense and dough will be tracked smoothly.
• 🛒 Wishlist System + Shopping Mall — Visualize how close you are to “buying” your next reward and find out if you can afford that wishlist item you’ve been saving up for!

You’re not just managing money here — you’re gamifying your effort, energy, and joy.

Have fun using your reward page!

🛋️ REST – Track Your Joy, Not Just Your Grind

This area is all about taking care of YOU.

It's about getting inspired ENOUGH to take care of yourself.

Let's face it. How many times have you opted out of sleeping early in exchange for 1 more episode?

How many times have you forgotten to take that vitamin supplement your loved ones keep nagging you to take?

When was the last time you planned a special celebratory dinner or lunch just because?

In your RPG Life, you won't have to worry about neglecting yourself just so you can focus on grinding. This planner will make Your Lifestyle worth living.

This is your cozy corner of the RPG:
