30-Day Productivity Challenge with IRLA (In Real Life Achievements) - Get More Done, Stay Motivated

We all want to be more productive - to finally tackle that growing to-do list, stop procrastinating, and make the most out of our time. But staying on top of everything can feel overwhelming, and traditional productivity methods don’t always work for everyone. That’s where IRLA: In Real Life Achievements comes in, turning your everyday tasks into a game you actually want to play.

By tracking your productivity with IRLA, you’ll be able to break big projects into smaller, achievable milestones, stay accountable, and celebrate every win along the way. Let’s dive into how you can hack your productivity and stay motivated using IRLA.

Productivity hacks aren’t about squeezing more work into your day - they’re about working smarter, staying focused, and creating systems that make it easier to get things done. The problem? Most people set productivity goals that are too vague or unrealistic, making it difficult to follow through.

IRLA helps bridge that gap by gamifying your progress and breaking your work down into achievable steps. Instead of a daunting to-do list, you’ll have a system that rewards you for every bit of progress you make, making productivity feel less like a chore and more like a challenge you actually want to take on.

The IRLA system is designed to keep you accountable and motivated as you work towards your personal and professional goals. Here’s how you can use it to maximize your productivity:

Let's be real: vague goals like “be more productive” or “get more work done” won’t get you very far. Instead, set goals that are clear and actionable, like:

• Complete three high-priority tasks each day

• Spend 30 minutes organizing emails each morning

• Write 500 words toward a project daily

• Dedicate one hour each day to learning a new skill

By breaking your objectives down into bite-sized tasks, you’ll be able to track your progress more effectively.

We intentionally designed our IRLA Packs to rely on this concept of breaking down a larger goal into smaller, bite-sized pieces. 

Download the IRLA App and start logging your productivity milestones.

Every time you complete a task, you’ll earn XP and move closer to unlocking new digital IRLAs. Seeing your progress tangibly will help keep you motivated to continue pushing foward toward your goal.

Unlike traditional productivity planners or tracking apps that only show you stats, IRLA makes success feel real by allowing you to earn physical achievements for your progress. As you complete each milestone and earn collectible IRLAs along the way, you'll be able to remember each of these wins any time you see your IRLA collection.

Not all productivity methods work the same for everyone. Experiment with different techniques and see what sticks. Some people find the Pomodoro Technique (working in 25-minute bursts with short breaks) helpful, while others prefer time-blocking, where you dedicate set time slots to specific tasks.

With IRLA, you can track which productivity methods work best for you by logging your experience with different strategies using the journal functionality while logging an IRLA, and evaluating which ones help you stay on top of your goals.

Productivity doesn’t have to be a solo journey. One of the best ways to stay committed to your goals is by sharing your progress with others.

Inside the IRLA app as well as on the IRLA Forums, you can connect with a community of like-minded individuals who are also working towards their own achievements. 

Whether it’s career goals, personal development, or just staying on top of daily responsibilities at home, surrounding yourself with motivated people makes it easier to stay accountable.

Not sure where to begin? Try incorporating these productivity hacks into your routine and track your progress using IRLA:

• The 2-Minute Rule: If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately instead of putting it off.

• Batch Similar Tasks Together: Group related tasks to minimize context-switching and stay in flow mode.

• Use the “Eat That Frog” Method: Tackle the most challenging or important task first thing in the morning.

• Set a Timer for Tasks: Give yourself a set amount of time to complete something instead of letting it drag on indefinitely.

• Declutter Your Workspace: A clear workspace can help reduce distractions and improve focus.

If you’ve been struggling with motivation or keeping up with your goals, IRLA can help you stay on track, gamify your progress, and celebrate every step forward.
