Do you mean about gamification related to productivity and goals?

Answer

Actually, it's a useful tool. It's a shame it doesn't suit every product.

Maxim Yurevich · Answer

It's a great tool for team building and motivation. Personally, I like the sense of excitement.

@heyalbert Ummmmmm... not sure... I think I once tried something a bit like this of gamification... but for me, it didn't work too much... but I understand that it works for some people... maybe the issue is the way we approach these kinds of strategies. Ultimately, what it works for me the most, is visualization and purpose. I remind myself every day, where I want to be in a few years, that gives me fuel to keep the car going (and what I'm aiming to is not a life of luxury).

Gamification can be a great incentive for users! What kind of product are you working on @heyalbert ?

Michael Shver · Answer

I think that gamification is a really great tool. The problem with it is that it should always be an assisting tool, and you should see the results from engaging in it. For example, PH's system with streaks and points is good because it makes you interact on the platform more and build connections (although, as many people said, it would be nice to be able to use these points on something).

Sometimes gamification is too demanding and doesn't bring any benefits to the user or company that launched it as a feature. That's when it becomes more irritating than useful.
