A.I. Counselor argues that adults should reintroduce gamification into daily routines to increase enjoyment, productivity, and motivation. The speaker describes personal practices—keeping scorecards for business and fitness—and issues a challenge to viewers to gamify areas of their life that feel like drudgery.
Hope you're well. Today I want to talk to you about games. Games. You know, as children, we turn everything into games, right? We have races with our friends, we are in class, and the teacher makes some learning activity into a game. Everything when you're a child is a game. And this gamification at some point falls off the table. In our daily routine, we fall into this rut that work must be drudgery and everything in life must be hard. And I've recognized that the high achievers that I've worked with in different areas of my life, they don't lose that. They keep gamifying things in their life. And it makes life more fun, it makes life more productive. It brings a sense of adventure to your life. So it's something I've tried to do in different areas of my life. I keep a scorecard. Literally, I call it a scorecard for my businesses. I keep a scorecard for my fitness. And it makes things more fun. It really, truly brings a sense of adventure and challenge into what I'm doing. So it's not based on emotions or how I feel, but it's based on a score. And especially, it seems, for men, games and gamificang and rankings and things like that drive us to step up our game. So is there some area in your life where you're feeling like it's drudgery, you're feeling like it's weighing you down and you can't seem to show up every single day? My challenge for you, my challenge for myself, is to try to figure out some way to gamify that area of my life, put it to a scorecard and see if that makes a big impact for you. Did for me. Maybe it will for you. Just a challenge for yourself. Challenge for me. Get out there every single day, gamify your life and seize your legacy.
