CREATED: 201004071554
Threats and rewards only work for repetitive mechanical tasks.
The three essentials for motivation when doing non-repetitive work are autonomy, mastery, and purpose (AMP).
To achieve flow, you need:
- clear goals
- immediate feedback
- a challenge that is not too easy, not too difficult
- autonomy
- something that engages you
- enough structure
