Maintaining and managing motivation should be built into any practical plan for trying to achieve a goal.

This is what I meant by "very indirectly."

[edit] "Very" might have been an overstatement; it probably should have just been "indirectly."

We can also add that a large component of 'motivation' can also be compartmentalized off into a general 'motivation' goal - leaving only specific reinforcement and boredom minimisation aspect as part of the more direct plan.
