Shit No One Cares About Do you prefer to be motivated positively or "scared straight" (negatively)?

SNOCA is the superior and schlog endorsed version of SNCA. It is grammatically consistent and shlog-user preferred.

I've noticed that over the course of my life, the only way I can get myself to change is by having a really bad experience because of the choices I've made. Motivational speeches have no effect, but watching a video of someone my age getting their stuff destroyed by their angry father or whatever does a lot. Just tonight I watched a whole compilation of those and I ended up doing a lot of chores that I'd usually forget about. Seeing a TV show about young inmates and being in prison works far better than a privileged faggot talking about success.
 
Positively, negative motivation is too stressful

When I was a kid, like 15 years old, I cold turkey quit almost all the major time wasting vices and spent all my time being productive. I had to do online course at the time and was positively motivated to keep working and finish the course, but because I was stressed by a due date, but because I just wanted to finish it quickly.
Nowadays I am mostly motivated by stress as I can see how little time I have left and how little I have done with my life. It is much less enjoyable.
