Friction

A person's mental resistance to do an activity.

Main Principle

The brain is a muscle.

  1. Like any other muscle, it can be trained to be stronger, or if left untrained, become weaker.

  2. Every entry of an activity slightly reduces the mental resistance to do said activity.

  3. The brain is able to take progressive overload, meaning a task with a set difficulty will begin to become easier with each entry, which can lead to the person putting more cognitive load on their brain to train it further.
