How to Enjoy the Process and Be More Efficient

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to enjoy working towards their goals, while others find it to be a chore? One of the key things to understand is the role of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with reward.

When we focus on the reward at the end of a task, it can make the task feel longer and more difficult. This is because dopamine is released when we achieve the goal, not during the process of working towards it.

To avoid this, it is important to learn to withhold reward from the effort of the actual action. This means focusing on the challenge of the task itself and finding enjoyment in the process of overcoming it.
