Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Making your tasks into a game

If you have a tough list of tasks to get through, or if you just want some extra fun in your day, this week’s tip is for you. Remember The Milk user erin_milk suggests playing with your tasks, using points and/or emojis to make completing your tasks that much more satisfying. :)

You can easily encourage yourself to complete a task just by adding “1 ♢” at the end of the task.

The steps to play with your tasks:

1. Set simple rules. How many points will you get from a task? e.g., 1, 2, or 5.
2. Add points at the end of a task.
3. Add up the points for a day’s work.
4. Compare the points you get today with yesterday; did you win today?

There’s lots of emojis to choose from, e.g., diamonds, apples, hearts, so choose whatever you like.
