    I chart my improvements over time and equate them to role playing game experience points

    Do 20 crunches? that’s +20 xp towards constitution

    Really makes it a lot easier to reframe boring tasks

      I’m really not a charting guy or a numbers guy at all. I hardly write anything down if i don’t have to. A few years ago i kept reading how much people enjoy running or jogging, so i gave it a shot. I absolutely hated it, but i kept doing it to see if it clicks at some point. Suddenly i saw big leaps in improvement. I still kinda hated running, but the “leveling up” part kept me going. I bought a smartwatch, and suddenly i had numbers and graphs to back the feeling up. I got obsessed.
