Sometimes it takes time to cultivate intrinsic motivation. Gamification can get you over that hump.

I've moved on from gamification and thoroughly removed all such interventions from everything. I found the extrinsic nature of the mechanisms wasn't helping and were creating a distraction in and of themselves.

Metrics are generally overrated in my view. The ones that matter really matter but the rest are just noise that slows and obfuscates.
