> If Jim thinks the reward on effort is too low, he puts a “tax” on that activity. Actually, considering how old a mechanism this is, his name is not Jim but Grug. And Grug no see point in doing tax when Grug belly full and cave warm. We evolved to feel tired an out of energy when our minds asses that a task has a low probability of success. But chores, taxes, phonecalls and moving tickets in JIRA are very recent things from an evolutionary perspective, so it errs on the side of caution. Personally I use this to fall asleep faster.
