Ego depletion

Ego depletion is the hypothesis that prior self-control effort may temporarily impair subsequent behavioral control.

Definicja

The concept of ego depletion has been influential in the psychology of self-control, but its strength and replicability are a matter of debate. In practice, it is worth treating it with caution: not as a certain fact about the "willpower battery", but as a useful metaphor for the cost of decisions, fatigue, overload and limited capacity for self-regulation.

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is a mistake to present ego depletion as a certain, simple law of psychology. It is also a mistake to use it as an excuse without working on your environment and habits.
