Chapter Two: How Motivation Works

• MEVID
  • Motivation = (Expectancy x Value) / (Impulsiveness x Delay)
• Expectancy is your confidence of success
  • can incinerate all obstacles when combined with good planning
  • With low expectancy, your confidence is so low, you don’t even practice
  • You have trained yourself to be helpless
• Value is how rewarding and how fun a task is
  • Doing boring, pointless things causes low motivation
  • High value example: Tasks are so fulfilling you can’t help but grin to yourself
  • It’s easy to mistake a bad motivation environment for not caring and vice versa
  • have fun demolishing boring necessities in your way!
• Impulsiveness can be though of as distraction
• Delay is how far away the reward is
  • its possible to perceive delay differently
