Is it same for procrastination?

  Maybe. In my case it's often protection against bullshit things I have to do but I'd rather don't. Sadly, the "system 1" in my brain doesn't understand that it's not just "have to do", it's "have to do, or else...".

  Possibly this might explain procrastination: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Maarten_Boksem/publication/51426280_Mental_fatigue_Costs_and_benefits/links/0f31753a54b2b691ba000000.pdf https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Maarten_Boksem/publicat... It seems to involve the same brain regions that Noakes identified as being involved in physical fatigue. However rather than protecting against damage, its function appears to be to protect against unnecessary expenditure of energy.
