10 ideas how gamification can improve daily life

1. placing the alarm clock on the other side of the room and add additional feedback for turning it off -> make standing up a fun task
2. create an app where you can only record 1s every day - the programm automatically cuts it together -> visualize growth and increase self-awareness
3. a social platform to share progress on creating niches for little animals (flower fields, moss gardens) -> increase bio-diversity and life quality
4. create a platform to explore upcoming artists -> help artists to start out
5. similar to geocaching hide tiny secrets in areas extended by a narrative layer -> encouraging outside activities
6. Real-time feedback on electricity usage by a counter on the wall -> encourage saving power
7. create a tiny monster to introduce your biography -> make information interesting, lasting
8. send postcards which show an area map including a red cross (hidden place) -> encourage outside activities
9. use the Pomodoro method to chunk down your work into little 25min tasks with 5min breaks in between -> work focused, steady energy
10. this streak itself has gamification elements: social feedback & sense of progress (also a clear goal to achieve) -> help you to make creative thinking a habit

Day 7! I usually have too many ideas in my head to implement, so feel free to steal some.
My theme for today is a better society.

How can me improve on the European (German) society, so it's fair for everyone.

1. if you defend your fundamental rights as a citizen in front of the court, the state should pay for lawyers (right now you have few power as citizen against a business with much money and institutes of the state itself)
2. people who do volunteer work should get financial support by the state - those contribute much to make our society a better place
3. a fixed percentage of a city district is used to build parks and forests - those filter the air & provide relaxation. A recent study of the British government showed that forests help to live longer and work more productively (shortened lives trough air pollution is sadly a thing)
4. a city of colors, a city where citizen fill the facades of their houses with art - this can contribute to a more lively, positive environment
5. implement the concept of "Liquid Democracy" to give the citizen power in decision making processes again
6. declutter the laws, make them understandable by everyone - in Germany exists a huge amount of laws - even lawyers are unable to look trough and understand all of them
7. stop managing educational and sanitary institutions as businesses
8. pay less money for wars, pay more for the society
9. decrease the hurdles for small businesses, for a flourishing economy
10. stop valuing the worth of the country by it's GDP and start valuing it by the Social Progress Index - an international standard for rating the quality of society, the quality of living

HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE THE SOCIETY: donate every month to organisations helping to make the world a better place, e.g. the red cross

every little donation helps! Be nice, offer your help without expecting anything in return, fight for the rights of others.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Day 6! I usually have too many ideas in my head to implement, so feel free to steal some.
My theme for today is apartment.

1. create table gardens by putting several plants in a larger container
2. grow herbs right in your kitchen for tastier and healthier meals
3. with green being the most relaxing color for the eye, hang greenery images as point of rest
4. put clothes sorted as complete outfit in the cupboard to save time
5. create a "timetravel" box, where you put in photos, etc. of emotional value
6. use warm, moody lightening to comfort yourself (this helps being more creative, too)
7. collect the water of the sink to water your plants
8. idea box: write your ideas down on notes and drop them into a paper box - when coming up with new ideas look for inspiration there
9. create a tea brewing spot consisting of a water boiler, with cups and tea in a cupboard above, bonus: grow plants next to it, e.g. mint
10. create a rest spot with soft pillows, moody lightening and green or brown colors (=balance, rest)

Day 3! I usually have too many ideas in my head to implement, so feel free to steal some.
My theme for today is forest.

1. make a game where you are a forest ghost protecting the woods from human destruction
2. hollow out a log and put speakers inside playing nature sounds
3. create a guerilla initiative for keeping the woods clean of rubbish
4. a project where you buy ruins in cities, demolish them and turn the area into a city forest (alternatively do this the guerilla way)
5. create a free game which emotionally connects citizen back to forests
6. paint street lanterns, so they look like birch trees
7. build a watch tower in the woods, which looks like a hollow tree
8. decrease meat consumption, so less area is used to grow food (especially for pigs are large areas needed to grow them food) - turn the areas free again into forests
9. paint on a dead tree with bioluminiscent paint
10. plant domestic saplings at places currently turning back into a forest / in commercial forests
