We usually avoid difficulty whenever we can, but I try to do something difficult every single day. In this video, I’ll explain the three main reasons behind why I’ve chosen this approach.

If you're like most people, you probably have a to-do list, and you use it to help you focus on getting things done.

However, because you feel like you're supposed to get your money's worth, you decide to watch the rest of the 2 hour movie. This decision is based on your loss of $10. But it isn't an optimal one. A more logical thing to do, would have been to get up and leave after...
