What reasoning lead you to treat this apporach as an anxiety booster? Do you refer to using productivity apps in general?

Personally it was the opposite to me - various games increased my clarity, focus and the feeling of empowerment.

Though I have to say that gamifying life is about "creating a game" - game can be too difficult (lead to anxiety) or too easy (lead to boredoom) or the right one. Just like "normal" game for entertainment.
