I like games and challenges. Setting a goal feels boring....but setting a challenge to achieve sounds like fun. I'd like to figure out how to gameify (spelling?) my habits I'm creating and things I'm doing for my business and the projects I'm working on. I'm thinking I could make a project into a challenge, with rewards and punishments along the way for the specific tasks needed to finish the project. I could do something similar with habits, "earning" tokens each time I complete a habit, and losing them when I skip a day, with a reward system for the tokens. What suggestions do you have for doing this?
