utopify.org - Challenges
If you're still participating in utopify challenges over Habitica, you have to provide your user id, which can be found on the [settings page](https://habitica.com/user/settings/api). The reason is that it's one of the many ways to prevent cheaters to win the 💎, because most of them only join a challenge and don't do anything afterwards, hoping they get chosen randomly. A bot will frequently read all the comments of this thread and save your user id from Habitica and your fediverse address. This is important to identify your reports you post here to the connecting challenges, which qualifies you on Habitica to win the 💎 (if there are not more rules in the challenge). It is only possible to connect one user id to one fediverse account. If the same user id will be posted later, it will be ignored and if you changed your fediverse account, then write a pm on Habitica [to me](https://habitica.com/profile/12631f31-5d3f-4796-b315-ad7115749beb) with your delete request so I can confirm your user id. Please do not share your api id. It is like a password and can be used to access your Habitica account. Only the **user id** should be posted here, so the bot can easily get the ids. No other text or emojis should be added, only the id. A user id looks like this: 12631f31-5d3f-4796-b315-ad7115749beb I've posted my id below as a demo, but no worries, I've excluded myself from winning in my own challenges.
## Summary Compete with other people in a 🍅 race. ### Race Process **Monday:** Challenge will be created and everyone on the planet can join the race (not depending on time zones). Check if the challenge is running [on the utopify.or guild page](https://utopify.org/habitica_guild.html). **Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday:** The race starts! The race is organized in 3 laps. One day is one lap. Participants have to write down the amount of completed todos every day in the note section of todos. **Friday:** The challenge will be closed and one participant of the better half will be randomly chosen to win the 💎. ### Goals - Do as many poms as you can for 3 days ### Rules - The amount of all completed poms will be calculated automatically by a computer program.

## Summary Record, edit/cut and publish a video ## Description Video production can get overwhelming if you plan too complex videos and if you invest weeks for a short video it can get too much and you could stagnate. I [created complex videos](https://www.youtube.com/@utopify), but after a few days I had more material on my hard disk than I could cut. It was overwhelming, because my goal was to create high quality videos. For months I didn't publish a video and didn't work a lot on videos. Stagnation and procrastination started. With a simple habit to work on **non-complex and small videos** [like this](https://diode.zone/w/2msD4TTpC37n31RZ5mUqjn), we can get a healthy routine to work on videos again. Let us produce videos together! ## Goals - Occupy yourself with recording, cutting/editing and publishing videos - Create a video - Publish a video no matter if it's good or not ## Rules - You must create at least one video within 7 days - Publish the video and share the link here ## Tasks |Type|Name|Note| |---|---|---| |habit|🎥 Publish another video|This might be very hard, but if you publish another video, you can hit the plus| |daily|🎥 Video Editing|Occupy yourself with video editing/cutting and publishing.
