As it is, it sounds like you’re just pretending you want to do things that you don’t actually want to do and hope that getting a high score will be enough to motivate you to actually do them.
I often don’t care much for particular activities, but I definitely care about results, which require me to do the activities. Add hyperbolic discounting (effort now, results later) and risk aversion (efforts certain, results uncertain, probability for risk-aversion is irrationally sublinear) and you’ll see the problem.
