Because I&#039;ve always been a fan of video games. I&#039;ve spent over a thousand hours on World of Warcraft, I&#039;ve completed all the quests on Runescape, and don&#039;t even talk about Skyrim or Witcher.

And I think this prophecy should be fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is gamification? Who&#039;s from her? How?

It&#039;s an insanely hard game because you start at a random location and in a random body. But we all play it, and only one dude got a second chance 2000 years ago, whose dad is the creator of the game...<\/p>\n<p>...But everyone can gamify everyday life. And we should.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When gamifying:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You will realize what you have dreamed of doing for the longest time...<\/li>\n<li>\u2026And it will be fun!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You know when they tell you that nothing good comes out of video games? This is nonsense. You can learn from them and use their techniques.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in the game &quot;Guild wars 2&quot; you can not only raise levels, but also collect achievements.

It is relaxing, because you hardly realize your dreams at work, not others. And here - achievements remain even after turning off the game and going to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>I started 3 years ago and today I am addicted to challenges.<\/p>\n<p>(Yes, these games can simply be called &quot;challenges&quot; or &quot;experiments.&quot; It&#039;s even similar to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leansektorius.lt\/lt\/top\/apie-lean\/kas-yra-lean\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LEAN work organization methodology<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/beprotisku-tikslu-sarasas-du.png.webp\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"17654\" width=\"644\" data-init-width=\"955\" height=\"415\" data-init-height=\"615\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/beprotisku-tikslu-sarasas-du.png.webp\" data-width=\"644\" data-height=\"415\" style=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"17654\" width=\"644\" data-init-width=\"955\" height=\"415\" data-init-height=\"615\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/beprotisku-tikslu-sarasas-du.png.webp\" data-width=\"644\" data-height=\"415\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>But could The Crazy Goals List be even better?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"\">Yes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/en\/mad-goal-saras\/\" style=\"outline: none;\">You can make your own &quot;Crazy Goals List&quot; using this guide.<\/a> Put on some inspiring music and get started. It will be fun. You can see more people who have created and enjoy this list in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>(The &quot;Crazy Goal List&quot; is a free technique.)<\/p>\n<p>But this year, after 3 years of adventure, I will try to do things differently.<\/p>\n<p>Because I found myself playing World of Warcraft again instead of writing the second book. The publishers are waiting, and I&#039;ll be hanging out somewhere around Argus... In other words, I&#039;ll try something even more gamified!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You don&#039;t need to log in. <\/strong>Can use the first version of BTS because it works! However, if you want, we can try to go into gamification even more.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#039;s changing in BTS 2.0?<\/h3>\n<p>If in the first version of BTS the objectives were divided into categories, I realized that it was of little use. So now less division, more joy on my list! \ud83e\udd73<\/p>\n<p>I&#039;m a video game geek. However, I don&#039;t really like Asian grind games where you grind the same thing over and over until you can feel like you&#039;ve accomplished something after 10000000000 days. I&#039;m looking at Lineage 2 and Black Desert Online.<\/p>\n<p>I prefer many small achievements! When you get an award for every job and you feel fantastic. I&#039;m looking at World of Warcraft.<\/p>\n<p>So, two changes:<\/p>\n<h3><em>1) <\/em>Gone are the challenge categories, because to hell with division!<\/h3>\n<p>As I&#039;ve learned over the past 3 years with BTS 1.0, categories really mean little.<\/p>\n<p>There are many different &quot;life building&quot; exercises, the essence of which is to set goals in different areas of life. Once upon a time, when I was still interested in self-development, I also went to all kinds of poor lectures and did such exercises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2026But do you really need to divide your goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What is the point of dividing into &quot;Society&quot;, &quot;Finance&quot;, &quot;Family&quot; and a million other areas? Is there anything better than that? I just see it as noise - it&#039;s easier to start thinking about where to put the challenge than how to start it in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>And if you see the problem that someone can devote his whole life to finances and forget his family... Where is the problem here? A life spent focusing on just one detail is still a life.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/en\/simplicity\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">Maybe even better<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#039;d better not put off work by tidying up, oh <a href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/en\/rivers-philosophy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I&#039;ll just pick what&#039;s most important<\/a> and I will start doing that.<\/p>\n<h3><em>2) <\/em>Now you get experience points for each objective!<\/h3>\n<p>Instead of just ticking off the rung you&#039;ve reached, goals will now be assigned a value: Easy, Medium, Hard. 10% experience points in the easy category, 25% in the medium category, and 50% in the hard category. Well, as much as you want. You can set your own numbers.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You start at level 0. If you only complete easy objectives, you will need ten to reach level 1. If they are heavy - only two. If you mix, of course, you will mix accordingly.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the category of the goal yourself. I can&#039;t tell you what&#039;s easy and what&#039;s hard! After all, maybe you were born in a body with good hearing, so you also understand music better than I do. And so on.<\/li>\n<li>Enjoy the levels! You can play the game with your friends and compete to see who can reach more levels in a year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Oh, and that&#039;s right, since there are levels now, you can also create endowments.<\/p>\n<p>For example, when you reach level 5, you can finally afford to spend 200 euros and buy the Dolce Gabbana jeans you&#039;ve been dreaming of for ages. Or, after reaching level 10, split into warm regions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2026Or however you want to reward yourself.<\/strong> You can give yourself nothing at all or make gifts very symbolic - for example, make a certificate of achievement.<\/p>\n<p>(I talked about such self-made diplomas\/thanks to the students of the University of the Third Age in Marijampole.
