myth of motivation

thought>action

want to make it stress free

motivation middle man

dont feel like doing the action

wrong way to think about it

want to skip motivation

its wonky feeling unreliable

discipline instead

can improve motivation by

making action more pleasurable

gamify it but in personal way not corpy way

friendly way

 

make inaction more painful???

the consequences outweigh actually doing it

put big money on the line

can help you see how much you want to do it

 

shorten the feedback loop

sports + games have short loops

make other things more like that

 

make the outcome clearer in your mind

know what the outcome looks like

 

ideally just need discipline

myth of multitasking

task switching inefficient

flow state instead on one thing

feel and perform our best

power of productive downtime

lots of time we dont use at all
