Gamifying Work

Do you have an office job? Does it thrill you with excitement and joy every day? If not, then try gamifying it. Follow these steps.

• If you have a team, then regard them as meeples. You can allocate meeples to various tasks or locations, where they can do their thing. 
• If you don't treat your meeples well, their output for the week is reduced. Or they're eaten by a dragon.
• Assign each task Victory Points, awarded on completion. 
• Write up the rules of the game (e.g. you play for just 7 hours a day, Mon to Fri). 
• Decide how to win the game for the week. Perhaps 100 Victory Points will do it. 
• Decide how to lose the game. Perhaps losing all your meeples will do it. Or if you're cursed more than three times in a week. Or if you use up all your resources.

Turn your workplace into a game and you'll be super-keen for the weekends to end, just so you can start a new game on Monday.
