There has to be another way
The scientific name for this is "ego depletion", but recent evidence is suggesting that it may not actually be a thing, with multiple attempts to replicate the original result failing to do so.
In fact, the best evidence for ego depletion seems to be possibly that it's a sort of nocebo. That if you believe your willpower is spent for the day, you give yourself an additional excuse not to make harder choices.
TIL.
This is going to be my new phrase.....sorry, I can't do that right now as my ego is depleted.
Think I'll go in the opposite direction then and try to train myself to believe that willpower is infinite. Kamina style.
