A few months ago, I wrote about clawing my way out of Piggy Debt. In that post, I shared charts showing my coin balance over time. I learned a couple of lessons in that exercise. First, data is motivating. Seeing my progress makes me want to do more. Second, it shouldn't have been that much work. I spent one full day pulling data manually, writing analysis script, and visualizing the trend.

Now, with HeroMode v7.0, you can see your Piggy Coins Trend directly in HeroMode!

I have been using HeroMode's Piggy Rewards System for a few years now, and I've started to notice a pattern. Well, it's actually quite an obvious pattern once you notice it. Every year, I rack up a lot of Piggy Debt around the holidays. And every year, after getting back to work, perhaps driven by guilt, perhaps driven by professionalism (why not both?), I slowly add back coins to my Piggy Bank. This year, it took me all the way until October to finally pay off my Piggy Debt! In honor of this 100% fictional (but motivating) financial milestone, I dug deeper into my productivity data.

Recently, I came across a TED talk about the importance of having fun.

So in this post, we explore why fun is a key ingredient for both work and life, and how to leverage fun as a superpower for productivity.
