Effort, not grit

Keep the effort. Let your interests move.

SWe reviewed the research on it.Learning and self-belief

How to use it

Grit turned out to be mostly conscientiousness, and its "keep going" half predicted success better than its "one passion forever" half. Keep the effort: show up, finish, do the reps. Changing interests isn't failure.

How sure we are

S Evidence: strong. Large trials or many studies, pointing the same way.
