Effort Reward Matrix

Everything rewarding requires some amount of effort. However, the amount of effort is not always proportionately equal to the reward. So, it's a good idea to visualize the effort-to-reward matrix so better decisions can be made.

This matrix is divided into four regions:

1. Low effort, low reward - Activities that require low effort but also produces low reward.

2. Low effort, high reward - Activities that require low effort but produces high reward.

3. High effort, low reward - Activities that requrie high effort but produces low reward.

4. High effort, high reward - Activities that require high effort and also produces high reward.
