The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

that when we engage or Express tenacity and willpower by doing the thing that we least want to do by not doing the thing that we most want to do in a given moment that we actually can build up our anterior mid singulate cortex and thereby build up our future capacity to engage the enter mid singulate cortex when we need to call on tenacity and will power
well it's going to be the thing that I least want to do in that moment or the thing that I least want to resist doing in that moment to periodically add in those little what I referred to as micros sucks a very um non-scientific frankly non- psychological term but I think we all understand what it means little things that we don't want to do but that if we do them you can be sure that you are activating the interent mid singulate cortex and thereby increasing the probability the likelihood that you can access tenacity and willpower more readily in the future
this absolutely incredible brain structure that we'll call a hub because it's not operating in isolation but rather it's getting inputs from lots of different brain areas related to reward executive function autonomic function motor planning goal seeking Etc that we call the anterior mid singular cortex
the anterior mid singulate cortex for which there is now a very large amount of evidence is at least Central to the whole process of generating tenacity and willpower the I absolutely will do that and the no I absolutely won't do that
