Weaker Goals
Not everything can be simplified to survival and reproduction meta-goals. There are certain things people want to achieve or do just because:
- It's a realization of one's creativity (e.g. making a beautiful garden)
- they are just pleasurable (e.g. they want to finish a computer game)
- they don't like doing something (e.g. working in a job they don't like)
If you take a look at top of the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs#/media/File:Maslow's_Hierarchy_of_Needs2.svg) you will see that these are Self-fulfillment needs.
Such goals are typically less motivating (less painful if we don't have it satisfied) than goals fueled by meta-goals. Therefore it's more difficult to gamify such a goal because people are less tolerant of any design mistakes.
It still can make sense to gamify them though. The biggest gain of it is decreasing the complexity of a given activity. Consider for example learning how to play a new instrument or learning a language. The initial complexity can be overwhelming so creating a system of learning (a game) that simplifies learning can be greatly beneficial.
What these weaker goals can be?
- Realisation of one's hobby: cooking, writing a book, planning a travel, gardening, making a game, learning to play an instrument
- Volunteering
- Being more Eco
