Effort itself can trigger dopamine release, but it's important to avoid spiking dopamine before or after engaging in effort. Instead, attaching the feeling of friction and effort to an internally generated reward system can amplify all endeavors and lead to more efficiency in the long run.

Summary
Dopamine plays a role in our motivation to continue pursuing different aspects of life, but the way it relates to our perception of time can make hard work challenging and less likely to be continued in the future. Consuming things that increase dopamine can lead to addiction and a decrease in experiencing the same level of joy from those behaviors or anything else.

The key to amplifying hard endeavors is to attach the feeling of friction and effort to an internally generated reward system, which increases the amount of energy in our body and mind, and our ability to focus, according to Andrew Huberman in his podcast episode.

Summary
The key to amplifying hard endeavors is to attach the feeling of friction and effort to an internally generated reward system, which increases the amount of energy in our body and mind, and our ability to focus, according to Andrew Huberman in his podcast episode. This eliminates dopamine dependency and enables us to generate the rewarding process of being able to reward friction while in effort, which can help us lean back into that activity next time.
