If the questions are about motivation for Discordian-type projects, well, I don't really have any motivation for that anymore.  Hard to find the time with a wife and two kids.  

But if the questions is what gets me moving, in general, well, it's my wife and two kids.  And my job.  I love my job.  When I joined here back in 05, I was steeped in Retail Hell.  I hated my job.  It was rather soul-crushing.  I feel like I'm involved in something now that actually has some redeeming qualities and is contributing something beyond selling rich people overpriced plastic shit.  I learn every day at my job and every day I get to work with some pretty amazing people.

Ok, but can we somehow use that to help motivate people into participating in projects.

Get everyone jobs that pay 100k, with benefits, with a 30 hour work week, and then you'll have more participation.

I am motivated by money.
I dont care about discordian activities, but if someone paid me to care I would.

I understand that many people are busy, however, it doesn't always take a long time to pitch an idea, or pitch in on a project. We're a collective of minds, which can greatly reduce the workload.

What kind of project would motivate you to take a few minutes to help with?
