If you ever doubted that a project or activity could be turned into a fun game, then I invite you to take a look at the components of a game. When you do it, you might see that any project or activity having success has all the four main elements of a game: a goal, rules that are followed, feedback system, and voluntary participation.

This lecture of the course Motivate Yourself by Turning Your Life into Fun Games explains how and gives concrete examples.

June 25, 2018Self-Gamificationvica

The course Motivate Yourself by Turning Your Life into Fun Games will help you learn how to be aware, take a small, effortless step at a time, and appreciate each moment by turning anything you are up to into a captivating game. After recognizing what you escape from and what activities you escape to, without judging that, you can take the next step. That is identifying the next step to make toward your goals. In this lecture, you will discover that these steps are not the entries on your to-do lists. They are much closer. They are just where you are. And you can make them with the smallest effort there can be.

You will also learn that wherever you are right now and however you feel (upset or not), it is neither good or bad. It is just a starting point towards your goals.

This lecture of the course Motivate Yourself by Turning Your Life into Fun Games defines the new term Self-Gamification and shows how it differs from the “classical” definition of Gamification. It points out the main feature of self-gamification, meaning the fact that when you turn your life into games, you are both the designer and the player of those games.

You already gamify your life

The idea of turning your life into games might sound new to you. But the fact is that we all had done it already. We have turned various activities into games. Often without realizing it.

You might not have done it consciously or called the fun activity a game, but as soon as you added some rules to how it should take place – even if it is just meant setting a timer for a chore and with this adding a fun kick of urgency – then that was your game. There might have been many other ways you have gamified your life or treated it playfully. You might have come with those ideas yourself or been inspired by others.

This video will help you to look closer and become aware of those times you turned various activities in your life into fun games, and also remind you of the fun you experienced in the process.
