And if I push myself to give more fucks per day I find it easier to maintain that level over time... I think of it as building momentum, others think of it as exercising the willpower muscle.
Ego depletion could be a "just so" story but I still think it's an interesting/useful model.

There's only a certain amount of care you can give at a steady state (though, this does _seem_ to be able to increase, like a muscle at least for me personally). That said, if I work it too hard for too long with too much stress I experience burnout. Burnout, as mentioned many many times by people far more eloquent than I, has different levels. Can be mild, can be major malfunction. Stay frosty, folks. Make your attention count.
