I think someone should invent a game to help people have more fun doing their work.  I would like a game that let us create a character and then enter our day’s to-do list.  During the day, we’d check off stuff we’d finished, and for each completed task, we’d get some character upgrade points.  Then we could make our characters all fancy and then do stuff with them!  I’m not sure what would happen after that, though.  😀
