Tracking Habits and Goals - Instant Gratification

Some of your goals are milestones some of them are ongoing. 

Examples of milestones

1. X amount of Money as Assets

2. Becoming VP 

3. Building a dream house

4. Starting a company 

Ongoing goals

1. I am an Athlete

2. I have pleasing personality 

Please note that ongoing goals when you get started you may not be there so you may have some milestones to achieve and then maintain once achieved 

But since most goals are long term and milestones in nature if you have a habit trackers (daily, weekly) and may be a Goal tracker monthly, Quarterly, Yearly.

When you track and put a tick on a habit or a goal you get instant gratification even though the goal is not reached you have the happiness in measuring the goal and Habit and see that the progress is happening. 

So delayed gratification is good but our evolution has put in the instinctive "instant gratification" in our genes . 

Why can't we gamify the delayed gratification goals to a series of instant gratification?
