comment Gamification to improve myself
Thanks everyone for their answers! I hadn't time to really work out a good system for me so far. So far I use a software (producteev) to manage tasks from everywhere and decide on point value on task creation. I also have daily tasks of calculating daily score and all. Points add to a score value that actually results in a budget for stuff I can buy for myself. per 100 points I can spend 1€. This way I improves my motivation while also limiting my spend-all-my-money-instead-of-saving-it personality.

+1, although it is self-advertisement. :)

Sadly, Pomodoro just doesn't work for me. It's a mix of my personality, having programming tasks to do (that benefit from being in the zone for as long as needed/possible), and other factors.

That's a nice way to visualize your ToDo list. But it's not really gamification with points, score, etc. Note that I don't consider that this isn't a game for you or others. But I do actually want to get rewarded with points, having a score, etc. Still +1 to you.

I like this approach. You made a simple formla to calculate the points rewarded for doing a task. My problem would be that I'd still not do some tasks I really don't like. I'd be earning lots of points by doing complicated and beneficial stuff while not doing those important things I simply don't like much, like writing invoices or answering mails from (some) clients. Because of that I'd like to add another variable into your formula that somehow reflects the importance/hate ratio of the task.

comment How to plan a month of work in advance
This is nearly exactly how Im trying to plan my work for a few weeks and has been working good so far. So your answer is like the one I was about to give, just clearer and better formulated. +1 :)
