Micro-sucks

Topic

Micro-sucks is a behavioral protocol popularized by neurobiologist Andrew Huberman that involves deliberately engaging in small, unpleasant, or undesirable tasks to build willpower and mental tenacity. According to neuroscience, consistently performing these friction-inducing activities stimulates and increases the size of the anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC), a brain region associated with self-discipline and resilience.
