There is a lot of evidence that "Decision Making" is a finite resource in the brain. It takes energy and it runs out. This seems like it should be well known.

There is a lot of evidence that "Decision Making" is a finite resource in the brain. It takes energy and it runs out. This seems like it should be well known. This article makes it seem like a new insight, but it is real and has been known about. For Corporations: Is it theft? It is what you are paid for. Think of the "Executive Function" as a resource, and the corporation is paying you for it, and yes, in human organizations, it trickles down. The Higher in the Hierarchy you go, they also get tired. Then down the Hierarchy, the decisions trickle down, and the next layer also makes decisions and gets tired, and so on, down to the lowest person deciding how to write one line of code. Sure -> In every human organization there will be people that are 'passing the buck'. Or here 'not not taking responsibility at their level and passing the decision down to their underlings'. For ADHD: Everyone has a finite amount of "executive function". And People with ADHD have to be more judicious with guarding it. Gender: And yes, in home life, with bills, and getting kids to school on time, it wears everyone down. And yes, in some (maybe most) relationships, the woman is beset upon with more of the daily chores. That un-fairness is also well documented. But that doesn't mean this is a gender phenomena.
