Learn to gamify your life:

1. Develop a Point System

Throughout your day, rank tasks based on difficulty. By the end of the day, tally up all of your points.

2. Reward Yourself

After adding up your points, treat yourself to something weekly. Anything you like. Walking. Hiking. Sleeping.

3. Adventure

If you go on a walk, walk somewhere you haven’t been. Do ordinary things in a different way. Find a new way of life.

Promised you 4-5 minutes.
