How to Gamify Your Life to Quickly Accomplish Big Goals

Compete with people way ahead of you. Practice with people who are better than you.

Unsuccessful people make decisions based on current circumstances while successful people make decisions based on where they desire to be.
Get several mentors. A quality mentor will give you challenges and assignments with purposeful constraints.
Focus on one area of your life. “According to self-determination theory, by focusing on and improving one thing, the other areas of your life will naturally improve as well.”
Get paid to teach other what you know. You study harder and learn more when you teach others (the protégé effect).
Make a big change every few years. “If you don’t make big changes every once in a while, your life will get static and sterile. You’ll over-adapt to your current circumstances and stop growing. You’ll get too comfortable.”
