Bin seid 4 Wochen daheim und es geht mir so gut wie schon ewig nicht mehr. Orientiere mich gerade an dem Konzept von dem Buch „Gamify your life“ von Jane McGonigall. Das hilft mir sehr. Gibt auch eine App dazu (leider nur auf Englisch) „SuperBetter“. Laut Studie sind Menschen, die 6 Wochen 1/2

SUPERBETTER is such a weird fucking book. it takes the idea of applying "gameful design" to life, and like. ends up turning you into a tamagotchi?

Did you ever read Superbetter by Jane McGonegal? She wrote it after struggling to recover from a concussion she got from hitting her head on a kitchen cabinet door.

Ah, McGonigal! I've been a fan of hers since I heard her TED talk in 2015 and used Superbetter to help in my healing from a nearly fatal medical issue that altered my life.
Am still interested in what you took from her work and highlighted in your own context. I'm a writer, sociologist, gamer,

Interesting how my colleagues and I have been talking about 'side quests' while I found this piece about reframing goals as quests www.raptitude.com/2024/08/do-q... (also makes me think of Jane McGonigal's work with things like SuperBetter along similar lines)

For anyone up this terribly early on a Saturday (or anyone who lives in a time zone where this comment makes no sense), a cute pic of a black kitten from Pexels. I saw in the SuperBetter creator's TedTalk that looking at pictures of baby animals produces endorphins and increases resilience.

I think I also got early access to some gamified social media experiment as a perk for supporting one of Jane Mcgonigal's projects (Reality is Broken, SuperBetter). I still think she does exciting work, but I didn't like leveling up in that form.

If I can repeat this task today, I’ll be able to get everything in the wash tonight to press Monday and start attaching blocks to shirt parts.
