I think people will become more productive if they start to spank themsleves throughout the day. Not as a punishment, but as a reminder to stay in the right state of consciousness. Because most humans tend get stuck in the cycle of pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain and believe that it's the only motivator for any actions.

Break the cycle by spanking yourself, your mind will flip the switch and achieve that 'equanimity of soul necessary for genuine, motive-driven action.'

It's the sovereign act of a truly free will, indifferent to the demands of the instinctual body, which finally realizes: "Wait, I have agency beyond just chasing cookies or running from bees!"

Only then can you put down the phone and do the dishes.
