To handle this, it would probably work to extend the “motionless” prior to a more abstract “status quo” prior. It’s not necessarily related to physical movement (it could even be the opposite if it were a sports group instead of a study group in your example) but rather an aversion to expending effort or experiencing potential undesired consequences. The prior says, “Things are fine. It’s not worth going out of the way to change that.”
With this extended version, creativity-requiring tasks are analogous to physically-demanding tasks. With pre-scripted tasks, it’s not as demanding in the moment.
