I think you're making an implicit assumption: your brain's cognitive load is capped singularly. This may not be the case; we may have separate, independent caps for personal decision-making and work-related problem solving. If you choose to go to the same coffee shop every day, you may just be increasing your capacity to make more personal decisions but not really affecting your work.
- Someone 8y ago”we may have separate, independent caps for personal decision-making and work-related problem solving.” That seems highly unlikely to me. Evolution isn’t fast enough to have evolved separate systems in the time since we first started separating “personal” from “work” (at best a few thousand years, more likely at most a few centuries ago in my layman’s estimate)
