- - - - motivation is to survive, back in very early days
    - - seek reward and avoid hardship, Industrial revoulution and pre modern economics
      - Still use assumptions in most business/economic models
      - 3 incompatabilities
        
        How we organize
        
        open source info and services
        
        purpose driven principle instead of profit max
        
        how we think
        
        humans act irrationally as opposed to classical economic thought
        
        humans have more complex and revised motivational structures
        
        how we do
        
        2 types of work
        
        algorithmic: rule-based, left brain work that requires only formula routine
        
        heuristic: nonroutine, artistic, and complex requiring creativity and experimentation
        
        Extrinsic motivation = bad for heuristic and good for algorithmic
    - - post Industrial revolution, give workers greater autonomy and sense of purpose to work w/
  - - - why? bc no longer have full control
      - if give reward, may be interested in short term but nothing in long term
    - - experiments done in India w/ low levels of SOL; higher the reward, worse the performance
    - - overcome "function of fixedness", finding a different possible function for part in problem which is beginning of problem
    - - "crowding out" of good behav
    - - principal agent theory
        
        Principal = motivator
        
        agent = motivatee
        
        principal give reward even once, agent is addicted to it
  - - - Is task mostly routine?
        
        yes
        
        can you increase challenge or variety, less routines, or connect to larger purpose?
        
        yes
        
        follow "no" pattern
        
        no
        
        Use rewards
        
        offer reasoning why task is necessary
        
        acknowledge task is boring
        
        allow autonomy to complete task
        
        no
        
        baseline motivation: salary
        
        lont term
        
        autonomy
        
        no if then rewards
        
        now that rewards
        
        praise + feedback rather than tangible gifts
        
        provide useful info

        avoid anxiety
        
        avoid boredom
    - - Mindset
        
        entity: stuck and intelligence is fixed
        
        incremental = learning and intelligence can increase

        grittiness: perseverance and passion for achieving mastery

  - - - should be aligned to higher purpose
    - - create words and oath that will keep myself and others aligned with that philosophy
    - - create purpose in ethical behav. , say it's right thing to do rather than checklist
    - - happiness not linked to how much money but rather how money is spent
      - if only purpose is to achieve goals, unlikely to be truly happy
- - - - contemplate my purpose and ask "what's my sentence?"
    - - "was I a little better today then yesterday?"
      - "Did I finish my goals?" "how many of them? more or fewer than yesterday?"
      - "what am I going to do about it?"
    - - "Sagmeister" or "JP Morgan"

    - - deliberate practice => better performance
      - Repeat
      - Seek critical feedback constantly
      - focus on where I need help
