14. Keep Score and Celebrate to Increase Your Success

People play and work differently when they keep score as it provides automatic motivation.

Each completed task shows that reaching the target goal is becoming more feasible as they begin to view each day as a chance to rack up more points on the scoreboard.

Having some reward or incentive for when the goal is completed (and at points along the way) can give you something to look forward to, pushing you forward even when you want to give up.

Combining scoreboards and celebrations is a powerful tool to improve productivity.
