FISHBACH IN THE EPISODE: Is there a difference between intrinsic and extrinsic goals? What’s your 4-piece motivation framework for motivation? What are the characteristics of an effective goal? How specific should a goal be? Can you explain the difference between "do" and "do not" goals? What role do rewards/incentives play? How can they be utilized best? Setting goals and beginning the process of achieving them can feel motivating, but what do you do when motivation wanes?  If someone were to tell you, "I've lost all motivation," what would your response be? How do we think incorrectly about motivation?
