i myself am catholic, and not everyone does the rosary everyday. but people do it as a prayer (it's made up of different prayers)..... i hope this helped??
Another answer:
As far as personal prayers (prayers outside of the Breviary and the Mass), the Rosary is probably the most efficacious. The rosary itself, composed of Our Father's, Hail Mary's, Glory be's, etc. is NOT just mindless repetition. If you are just recited the prayers in a mindless fashion, you are not praying the rosary, and, for that matter, are not praying at all. The rosary is a set of twenty meditations, five for each "rosary". These meditations are centered on the life of Jesus. Two important points: to meditate is beginning prayer. There is much prayer beyond this, but meditation is how one begins. The second point is that meditation here spoken of, is Christian meditation. As you recite the prayers, you are thinking about the mystery proposed for that decade. For instance, the third mystery of the Joyful Mysteries is the Nativity. Obviously, you are thinking of Jesus' birth, how it came about, you picture the scene in your mind. But you also think about why He came to earth, why He is here, and how should it affect my life. In meditation, you consider all these things, ask God to help you and guide you, draw conclusions from them and ask God to help you live your life according to His Will. For instance, for every decade of my rosary, I usually start it off with something like, The Scourging at the Pillar: "Lord, help me to walk in Your footsteps, help me to know Your Father's Will and to do it; help me in this mystery to accept the pains in this life meekly and humbly without complaint or bragging, and to offer them up to Your Father, for His greater glory and honor, for the salvation of my brothers and sisters, and for my own salvation." Our Father...
Now, if we have all of that down, revelations to many saints through the ages have made know to us God's will, and that is praying the Rosary is a great way to grow closer to God, a great sign of predestination, etc. There is no way that sin can remain in your life if you are praying the rosary each day. If you are sincerely praying and meditating all the mysteries of the rosary, you will grow closer to God, grace will fill your life, and sin will leave it.
An excellent book, written by St. Louis de Montfort called The Secret of the Rosary lists many miracles and helps in this prayer. It is something that every Christian trying to lead a good life, conformed to God, should pray each and every day. Many saints refused to go to bed until they had finished their rosary. I find that a little beyond me, so I pray my rosary first thing when I get up in the morning.
Yes it can it even makes you a better person. But when you do say the rosary you still have to be good on the outside.
The best way is to pray it everyday.

It's just a matter of belief. Most people bless the Rosary before using it. There is no harm even if you use the Rosary without getting it blessed.
A rosary is not meant to be worn, outside of a religious habit. In other words, some religious brothers, sisters, monks, and nuns have a rosary hanging from their belt as part of their religious habit. Very occasionally, I have seen an older lady who walks to Church who does not have pockets or a handbag wear her rosary around her neck, but this is rare. Young people who have plenty of pockets and such should never have a rosary around their neck where it would show as this can be taken the wrong way by religious people who pray the rosary daily.
Living Rosary basically means that persons take the place of the Rosary beads while praying the Holy Rosary. Each "Our Fathers", "Hail Marys" and "Glory Be's" are represented by members of the parish as they form a big Rosary in an open ground or a covered court or gym. Usually this is done on the last day of October, the Month of the Rosary. In some parishes, instead of just people, they hold on to balloons representing the beads, and tie them to straw strings. When the Rosary prayer is completed, they let go of the balloon and from the sky you will see a floating Rosary.
The rosary intended to be used during prayer and meditation and not as jewlery. Someone who wears a rosary to have it handy to use in prayer or so it wouldn't get lost is fine. When I was a child, nuns would wear a rosary around their neck - but it was there for them to use in prayer/meditation and not as a fashion statement. Some people say it's a sin to wear a rosary because misusing a prayer tool as a fashioto make a fashipn statement is disrespectful.
