Work is a Game. '50 Gimmicks to Make Work Fun' by a Strategy Consultant, Released June 11th

Life is a game.

There are missions to clear and destinations to aim for.

To achieve them, you think about various things,

take necessary actions, and move forward.

If you don't view work as 'assigned tasks' but as

'a game to be tackled with creative ideas,'

your daily life will instantly become brighter, more fun, and more exciting.

○ Incorporate Gimmicks into Work

A very useful technique for this is the 'gimmick.'

A gimmick means a device, ingenuity, or a trick,

but especially in the world of games,

it refers to 'a slightly special mechanism that makes players enjoy the game.'

The idea is to incorporate these gimmicks into the real world,

particularly into your work.

For example, 'reducing the number of 'turns' by using emails with conditional branching,'

'increasing your allies by using 'consultation' instead of 'reports','

or 'acquiring English and technology knowledge as new 'support magic'.'

By adding these small 'fun mechanisms' to your daily work,

you can enjoy playing the game of work.

If you feel that work is

'something serious and impersonal,'

please read this book.

Let's change work into something 'creative,

fun, and exciting.'

The time you spend on work occupies a large part of your life.

To make life enjoyable,

let's have fun with work to the fullest.

If you enjoy your work, your results will surely improve.

Your evaluation will also go up.

Then, work will become even more enjoyable.

This book serves as

'an AR (Augmented Reality) glasses'

that makes the world look like a game.

Now, let's look around the world

with a fresh perspective.
