Default Using operant conditioning to study daily

I am experimenting with using various types of study software to help me learn things better, and while I have met with some reasonable success so far the main problem I've encountered is finding the motivation to keep using it on a daily basis.

So I am looking for ideas on using operant conditioning to get into the habit of daily studying. What I'm thinking of is some sort of automated reward system. A simple example would be stimulating my pleasure centres every time I answered a question correctly, though since I don't have the resources to hack into my brain I have to settle for something less invasive.

Anyone have any ideas? Maybe playing some sort of 'pleasing' sound, or showing 'positive' imagery when a correct answer is given? I would like to see what other people think here.

I prefer to turn everything into a game in my life.

I great example is Orbiter - A free space flight simulator
It is a realistic physics space flight simulator a guy from London made.
To fly and to play (to enjoy) you need to learn the basics of space travel.
Without noticing you would be studying just for fun.

I play it because it reflects my idea of studying very much.
