SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR APPLYING GAME MECHANICS TO THE COMPLETION OF TASKS BY USERS

摘要

The methods and systems described herein provide for effective and efficient completion of tasks by users of a computing device. Specifically, the present invention provides users with a proprietary workflow for timing the completion of a task by a user and scoring a user's ability to complete a task within a predetermined length of time. One exemplary embodiment provides for managing electronic messages by scoring their ability to apply actions to messages. Incentives are provided to users to encourage users to apply actions to messages through positive and negative feedback. Scores determined for any particular user may be determined based on the elapsed time between being provided with a message and applying an action to it, or may be determined based on the contents of a message.
