Fair. I think all of the descriptions given are somewhat hazy and were motivated by a couple particular examples shaped a particular way, and there are likely examples that are shaped a different way.
What examples did you have in mind for “hard work with low time investment?”
Many fears can be faced in relatively low time investment. If you for example have a fear of talking to women spending 10 minutes every day approaching woman on the street is hard work that doesn’t take that much time.
Negotiating prices would be similar. If you switch from not doing it at all to regularly doing it two times per week and the negotiating takes 10 minutes each that’s likely going to do a lot.
Tony Robbins has a personal development seminar that includes a firewalk* over about glowing coals. It’s framed in the seminar as being about the ability to do something despite feeling huge resistance. Afterwards whenever there’s resistance it’s possible to think back “I did walk over literal coals, so this isn’t a big deal in contrast”.
Belief change work has the same quality for me but but it likely takes longer for other people.
*Don’t try at home to walk over coals, there are a bunch of factors like picking the right coals involved to reduce the chances of getting hurt.
It seems to me that defining whether something is low-key or serious practice by the amount of time spent is a wrongheaded approach.
There’s work that’s very hard but that requires a low time investment and that has high returns.
