A Request For Your Expertise to Help Me Lose Weight!

by

How do all?

So, rather than me offering my view on things, I want to put the ball in your court.

I have been reminded that I need to lose some weight and get healthier for a few medical reasons. I have done this in the past, but I am terrible at sticking to regimes, despite, or maybe because of, all the stuff I know about motivation and habit building! The irony is real!

What I would love is to hear your advice, words of wisdom and stories about losing weight and getting in shape. What worked for you? Did you use gamification? Did you use well-known plans or more obscure methods? Read More ...

The “Less Bad” Lens – Making a Small Difference with Gamification

The 300% increase could just have been  3 people registering compared to 0 people the week before!

However, many did not ask those questions, they just saw the big numbers and had unrealistic expectations of what gamification could deliver – expectations that some companies were happy to perpetuate to their own gain.

Intrinsic vs Extrinsic Motivation But What If They Get Addicted To Your Gamified System

Amazingly the question “But what if people get addicted to the solution and stop working” has come up in more than one conversation with clients over the years.

It’s an interesting question, that is worth thinking about. At first, it is easy to dismiss this as silly. When you think about it, thousands of games are released each year – about 9000 just on Steam in 2019 – the majority of them are totally unknown or fail. So how on earth is your gamified system going to become more important to people than the games they want to play or their work? Read More ...
