A few nights ago I shot this after doing some yoga in the park.

And a few nights prior, this one:

It’s pretty straightforward, you have to roughly line-up the photos as you take them shot by shot.  It leaves a tracer image on the screen to assist.  When done, it saves to your photo album, all stitched together.

It’s simple, but it’s pretty slick!

This video does an entertaining job of explaining motivating factors, and I tend to agree with the theory:  For menial tasks, if-then rewards are effective.  ie: make 10% more widgets and get a $100 bonus.  However, if the task requires even the most trivial of cognitive abilities, if-then rewards are not only ineffective, but destructive.

Complex and creative functions on the other hand, require a separate set of motivators: Purpose, autonomy and mastery.

The video primarily focuses on job/career motivations, and I believe the theory is applicable to most meaningful areas of life, like relationships, personal growth, etc.

Have a peek at the video and ask yourself: What motivates me?
