Why Your Brain Loves Easy (And Why That's a Good Thing)

"If my brain loves easy... does that mean I'm just lazy?"

It's a question many of us ask ourselves.

Why do I put off simple jobs?

Why do I ignore emails?

Why does choosing dinner sometimes feel harder than writing a report?

Why do I leave wet washing in the washing machine for three days even though it would only take ten minutes to hang out?

The answer probably isn't laziness.

In fact, your brain is doing exactly what it evolved to do.

The problem is that it evolved for a very different world.
