Deep dives
Motivation driven by discomfort, not rewards
Motivation is not driven by rewards and punishments, but rather by the desire to escape discomfort. External rewards do not effectively motivate us to overcome internal triggers or discomfort. Instead, adding an element of play to tasks can help maintain focus and engagement. Focusing closely on a task and finding new challenges within it adds novelty and helps avoid distraction. By reframing tasks as enjoyable or attaching play elements, we can cultivate motivation and overcome discomfort.
