Treat Yourself as Your Best Customer

Self-Gamification

Treat yourself as a game designer does her favorite player. Or as an anthropologist does the people, in whom she is immensely interested.

If you would think of anthropologists, you might think of them having the following qualities. They are:

  • Non-judgmental
  • Utterly curious in what’s in front of them
  • Often dive into and actively engages with the culture they are studying
  • Immensely interested in understanding the culture they are studying, as well as its motivations

Now imagine being like that towards yourself!

So, when you observe yourself struggling with or procrastinating on a task, ask yourself the following:

How can I design or adjust this task in such a way that I, as a player, enjoy doing it or can’t wait to start playing it?

Life as a Favorite Game

Self-Gamification

Here is the next short post on Self-Gamification. Enjoy! 🙂

 

And here is the same thought in text form:

“Let’s treat our lives as our favorite games. Let’s dive into them, enjoy them, be excellent at them, and be curious about each step, each level. And play them again and again.” – Copyright © 2018 by Victoria Ichizli-Bartels

Software and Hardware for Designing Self-Motivational Games

Self-Gamification

I am starting a series of posts with short thoughts on Self-Gamification, that is on turning one’s life into fun games, and especially why it is worth it. I will use them also in my future book on Self-Gamification. But so far, I wanted to share them on social media and here on my blog.

So, here is one of the best things about Self-Gamification.

And here is the same thought in text form:

“The best thing about designing self-motivational games is that the software and hardware are always available. You can find them on your shoulders. And the designer is you.”

Contributing to Mekon’s Bitesize on Business Rules, August 2018: About the Book “brDoc, BREX, and Co: S1000D Business Rules Made Easier”

S1000D

The S1000D User Forum 2018 in New Orleans, September 10-13, is getting closer every day. Only a week from now. Many who are going there are curious what discussions will emerge and what connections will be made, what interactions will take place.

I am not going to the S1000D User Forum this year, but a little book I created with the main reason to give back to the community, which I enjoy and am proud of being a part of, will be there instead of me.

Susanne Berg from Mekon Ltd will take part in the User Forum and have my book with her. Susanne was the one who had the idea for me to write a series of short articles on the S1000D Business Rules and she was also the one who agreed to grant me the copyright so that I could publish the book.

With this book, I hoped to alleviate the overwhelming and annoying feeling rising with many of the S1000D implementers when they face the necessity of defining the project or organizational business rules.

As mentioned above, Susanne will have the book with her at the forum. So if you are taking part in the S1000D User Forum this year, then I invite you to approach Mekon’s exhibitor’s stand and take a look at the book.

And to get a taste of what this little booklet (less than 100 pages long) is about and how it could help you, I suggest that you read the article “Bitesize Business Rules Series as a Book,” which tells the story of the article series on Mekon’s website and the book.
