How to make the process of completing tasks enjoyable and interesting?

Question

Layouts and prototypes

Good afternoon. I'm doing a Design Calm Technology course at the University of Trento, Italy. My task is to make a prototype of a task management system that would help the user to remain at rest and have certain pleasant emotions when performing tasks .

I made a prototype in which when you complete a task you see a nice picture from Flickr , a suggestion to take a short break; and you can also see 2 people who completed more tasks than you, and 2 who did less.
Please look at the prototype and tell me if, in your opinion, this type of motivation is suitable for solving personal problems?
Thank you very much.

Answer 1

By showing people who are ahead of me in the number of tasks, as well as those who breathe down my neck, you introduce a competitive moment and thereby try to take me out of my comfort zone, make me speed up with my own tasks. This a priori cannot help me stay calm. Rather, it is a tool to get out of the routine. Of course, this information has a place in such a system, but it is hardly necessary to make it visible all the time.
The second point is “nice picture”. The perception of graphic information is too subjective to predict exactly how it will affect a person at one time or another.
Offhand, in what direction I would suggest thinking: minimizing the interface (removing unnecessary and annoying elements), achievements based on the results of tasks (although debatable).
PS There is an account (coins) at the top. Does the system involve monetary rewards for completing tasks? If so, that makes a big difference, as monetary reward systems are a little different than personal productivity systems. And this must be taken into account when designing the interface.

Answer 2

As for the interface, I typed qwerty into the mail and password fields and pressed the green button. Didn't roll. I read it - it is written that this is the entrance. Why are 2 buttons enough for one?
