effortfully
Requiring much exertion
With deliberate effort or exertion, as opposed to automatically or easily.
The word appears mainly in psychology and cognitive science, where it contrasts with effortlessly: She effortfully suppressed the urge to interrupt.
Tasks requiring conscious attention are performed effortfully rather than reflexively.
