"Ego depletion" is such a misleading/tricky name. It's merely attention depletion. And I do believe that's the underlying mechanism that both will and cognition use. And yes, if one looks at its own experience then it will probably find that there is a tank of cognitive resources. Everything that requires attention consumes from this tank. So yes, if we could start to design our world to eliminate the nuisances, that may translate into a qualitative leap driven by a virtuous circle.. Thumbs up for a user centric world.
