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.
gollark: that moment when you actually do regular exercise at home(other people do, I mean)
gollark: I don't see myself doing that, since I basically only do exercisey things through a combination of being required(ish) to due to picking "fitness" as one of my sport options, some concern for my health, and the fact that it's in the sport-y environment at school and during a timeslot when there aren't really many other options.
