Perceived effort isn't fixed and can be influenced by external factors, such as music and habits, that decrease the sense of effort required for tasks. By reducing the perception of effort, individuals can reciprocally sustain greater objective effort, enhancing both mental and physical endurance. The concept of perceived exertion, often studied in endurance sports, also applies to daily activities, where expectations and contexts can shape how effortful tasks feel. Developing habits can further diminish perceived effort, thereby assisting in maintaining self-discipline and improving overall performance in everyday life.
When we reduce how effortful our tasks feel, we enable ourselves to sustain greater objective effort and can achieve greater mental and physical endurance.
Identical actions can feel more or less effortful depending on the circumstances, indicating that perceived effort is not fixed.
