Gamification Is Just Behaviorism Wearing a Fun Hat

1. Points. Badges. Streaks.
   Because nothing says “mental health” like a digital leaderboard for brushing your teeth.
   
2. Notifications: Tiny dopamine grenades disguised as productivity.
3. Apps that congratulate you for existing:
   “Congrats! You’ve opened your email three days in a row!”
   Calm down, Sharon.
4. Grammarly:
   Behaviorism with a bowtie. It knows when you pause too long and whispers, “Are you really that productive, though?”
5. TypeShare:
   Basically Hogwarts for writers—except the Sorting Hat gives you anxiety stats instead of a house.

Sometimes quitting the game is the real win.
