Doof Vs Gamification?
I reached half a million scrobbles on LastFM (https://www.last.fm/user/Doofy-) which was always intended as a marker of sorts... |

This Mirror Weighs a Ton
A month ago I went down to 20 apps on my phone, deleting 40 or so. Massive cleanse. |

Hard Life
The big move was deleting three fitness apps...I now don't track my fitness. Huge removal of a gamified element of my life. |

Punching the Clown
I've always had half a million scrobbles as the target to then reduce LastFM gamification - my library is now broadly reflective of what I've listened to in my life thanks to some strategic historic plays. |

These 'historic plays' were a fun exercise as usually I'd listen to these albums once or twice, often for the first time in ages, while building up the scrobbles outside of that, leaving playlists of albums playing in the evenings when I wasn't ever listening to music. |

Still Coming Down
Apart from on holiday I find I check the markets and my account every day, and you tinker a bit, try and find more money to invest. |

Who Loves the Sun
So that's the toughest one but I'll work on that one too. Screen time is coming down, gamification is reducing, feelin' good. |
