Rewarding work is the reward §

There are types of works that consume and drain our energy. And there types of works that recharge our energy and contribute to developing momentum.

Finding that type of workflow is key. It can turn into a virtuous cycle and will keep on feeding itself.

This is why external rewards don’t work. The work becomes about those rewards instead of about the work itself. Might as well skip straight away to the reward.

Instead of relaying on will power or pure motivation, we can relay on the reward of doing the work. And that becomes the motivation.
