Adding Labels and Points Values for Gamification

[VA-MMXXII]

Something that would be helpful to me would be the ability to add labels or categories to habits---or simply to group them.

I'd also like to see an option to assign point values or weights to habits. Some habits are really important and some are not, and right now the app does not differentiate between them.

Let's say a user has 10 habits. Of these 10 habits, 3 habits are of minor importance ("low priority"), 4 are moderately important ("normal priority"), and 3 are critical ("high priority").

When all 10 habits are done, it's a perfect day and there's no scoring or analysis required.

But most days are not like that.

It'd be great to score a day with checkmarks for 3 high priority habits, 1 normal priority habit, and 1 low priority habit differently than a day with checkmarks for 1 high priority habits, 1 normal priority habit, and 3 low priority habits. Both days have 5 checkmarks, of course, but they really are not equal if weighting or scoring is used.

Further, if a grouping feature were also added, we could drill down and compare performance for each day/week/month/quarter in that group of habits, as well as for the overall total of all habits.

In a gamification sort of way, I think it would be motivating for users to focus more energy on those habits they otherwise resist or put off if they could at least know that they earned a high point value for the day by doing them.

p.s. In the meantime, or if this never is implemented, one could add a group name and a point value to each habit's Notes field and then add numeric habits "Daily Score [All]" and "Daily Score [{group}]". Then each day you could manually enter the points into these numeric habit. Or you could do it with daily CSV exports and a spreadsheet set to look for the data in the raw CSV. But these require a lot more time and hassle.
