Estimations about a task’s difficulty level can affect our motivation. If we think something is ‘totally difficult’ (impossible), we will be less likely to do it. Sometimes we can mistakenly think that something that is hard (e.g. writing up a science experiment) is close to impossible. As a consequence, we may only make a half-hearted effort to do it.
