It never made sense to me how this theory treats all decisions as fungible. Go for a short walk through the woods and you've made hundreds of decisions including where to step, what scenery to look at, how to respond to a noise you heard, etc. but that experience is generally considered refreshing. Meanwhile, your whole day might be dampered if you have just one really important decision looming over you, or which you just made and are unsure about. If I'm writing a fun personal code project then none of the decisions faze me, but if I'm fixing a bug in some awful code I might need a break. Diagnosed with ADHD myself. The prescribed stimulants definitely make it easier to deal with annoying decisions. I noticed mental fatigue around a task is just an illusion I might have picked up from observing others? If I just don't think about it, I can start on a big daunting thing and just keep going, like I always tended to do in the past. If I let others' descriptions of task paralysis or whatever seep into my head then it gets harder.
