I immediately reclustered your motivational-breakdown into the following:
OODA Loop
Noticing distractions/impulses
Tendency to override distractions/impulses
High energy
High energy ~ High executive function ~ Agility: ability to deliberately direct or change what you’re doing.
Separate from staying in flow-state, which basically maps to “momentum.” However, initiating a flow-state deliberately can take some energy/agility.
Desires
Motivated towards healthy goals
Unmotivated by unhealthy desires
Pain Attitude
Pain tolerance
Pain enjoyment
Flow state
Time Discounting
Low discount on future gratification
High discount on future pain
Same low-level leaves, except that I slightly-rephrased lack of desire for unhealthy things, and I added “pain enjoyment” as separate from “pain tolerance.” (I experience and model them as distinct things; one is buffer that can be overwhelmed, but the other can become a bona-fide addiction in some people.)
...might also mention that I see flow-state as potentially fitting into ANY of these categories.
This re-clustering maps much better to how I personally would calculate/model these.
One little drawback of ThoughtSaver (although I generally like the idea!)...
The fact that I reclustered these right away, means I had better retention for the leaf-related questions but got annoyed whenever the cluster-branch questions came up. Memorizing how you had phrased it was sometimes in conflict with remembering a more useful clustering, for me.
I don’t know how to build things that are resilient to this, but I wanted at least some awareness of this problem.

Nice, I like the way you broke it up!
