Video gaming seem to be down this alley on the study of self-motiviation.

Some games are made to burn time, like Thumper.

Some games are made to burn you neurons like Baba is You.

Minecraft has 2 modes. Creative and Zombie. Both equally powerful incentives.

I try to keep the plasticity of my brain. Not to let it crust and crumble like Play Doh left outside the tub.

Video games are a canonical example of using tricks to drive extrinsic motivation, not intrinsic. There's this thing everyone tries to use to make otherwise undesirable tasks addictive . . . gamification.
