Our succulent sister site Lifehacker has posted the latest installment of the Geek To Live column by the equally luscious love of our life, Gina Trapani. The subject? How to turn the mundane drudgery of your working life into a video game!
Depressingly, Gina's feature does not recommend donning a bright red hat with your first initial stitched across the front, ingesting a plateful of hallucinogenic mushrooms and then flushing yourself down the toilet straight to the magical world of the Mushroom Kingdom. But it's still filled with her usual brand of great, practical advice.
Make it to the next levelBreak your task down into chunks and track your progress to completion with a level-o-meter. Similar to a fundraiser thermometer that rises with red marker the more money raised, draw yourself a personal progress bar to track your own progress.
Say you ve got a 10 page paper due for class. Before you start writing, on a nearby whiteboard or poster board, draw out a progress bar split into 10 sections. Each time you write one page, color in one section of the bar. It s completely mental, but getting to the next level can be a huge motivator.
Gina's so cool. We love her from afar.
