Takeaways
Intrinsic motivation refers to doing something for the sake of enjoyment and personal satisfaction, while extrinsic motivation involves doing something for external rewards or incentives.
Rewards can be both motivating and demotivating, depending on how they are used. It is important to strike a balance between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
Automating tasks and developing intrinsic motivation can be facilitated through the use of extrinsic rewards, but it is crucial to gradually fade out the rewards to maintain intrinsic motivation.
Understanding what motivates oneself and others is essential for personal and professional growth and success.
