Championships and accomplishments
gollark: I know *intellectually* that exercise is important and very good and stuff, personally, but seemingly that's not enough to make me actually do anything.
gollark: Also making it as convenient/friction-free as possible.
gollark: Probably both work to some extent for different people.
gollark: It's not really "motivated" as much as "don't hate it enough to go through the social awkwardness of going through the process of switching options", though.
gollark: I can't get motivated to exercise without being required to by school (since I picked "fitness" as one of my sports options), since it's one of those things I probably should do but don't like doing.
