I've been given this topic a lot of thought lately although I didn't know it had a name. My problem is I get good enough at mundane things (who doesn't?) that I can space out and ruminate right through them, thus losing any sense of being in the present moment and feeling completely ungrounded, plus feeling I didn't accomplish anything. I like the points system and rewards idea. I've been living a very under-stimulating life for some time now, due to not working and being somewhat isolated, and I'm starting to suspect it's making me unhappy. But--I still have to get the chores done! Thanks--great article.
