How to Help Your Brain Achivie Difficult Tasks.

 
We all struggle with completing difficult and complex tasks. The reason that we complete these tasks is that trying hard to complete a task while it is difficult and aversive at the same time also provides us with much value. Our brain is constantly running a cost and benefit analysis on all of our choices and decisions. This process is completed by the anterior cingulate cortex located near the front of our brain.
