Yes, the game IS silly, but I couldn't think of any other way to make myself get up and leave the house on time. This also serves to concretely control and help me document all types of spending for fun, which I worry about since, y'know, we're poor. The game format does help a lot, and the concept of striving for a streak of early mornings and getting rewarded for them is much more likely to get me out the door on time than the idea that my boss disapproves or even the idea that I could get more done at work if I spend more hours there. It feels a bit like my brain is wired to work better on a gaming sort of system, which does make me think that Jane's thoughts about how society is broken are correct.
Okay, I've got ten minutes to finish getting ready for work or I won't complete my streak for the week. :-)
