I don't think the creator mentioned it, but you could use the power of streaks (don't miss a day or you'll loss your streak).
Similarly, virtual reality games turned out to be the key to tricking my brain into liking regular exercise. Sports/weight lifting/running/etc all feel like a chore, but I can easily lose track of time getting my heart rate up in VR.
chatgpt summary of the transcript, probably doesnt need a full writeup.
The author discusses the concept of using video games as a model for effective studying. Video games have well-defined storylines and goals, as well as clear feedback on progress and areas for improvement, which motivates players to keep playing. By implementing these aspects into studying, such as tracking progress and creating clear objectives, students can experience the same sense of motivation and accomplishment. Additionally, video games are low-risk and high-reward, which can also be applied to studying by removing the fear of failure and creating a safe space to learn and experiment. Overall, the author suggests that by incorporating these video game elements into studying, students can increase their motivation, productivity, and enjoyment of the learning process.
I personally enjoy it. And it makes me play the actual games less. You get to have more enjoyment in other more productive works (for example cooking healthy meals).
