Curious to hear how others on Mastodon experience (or push back against) the idea of ego depletion in their creative practices. #cheeio #EgoDepletion #CreativePractice #CognitiveLoad #MastodonCreatives

Understanding ego depletion can help you plan your day better and maintain discipline. In my latest article, learn how using self-control in one area leaves less for others and how to manage your willpower throughout the day. #EgoDepletion #SelfControl

@ChristophB To me, as someone interested in a similar phenomenon of „listening effort“, the thing about „ego depletion“ research is that there is a very real experience of being depleted by cognitive/emotional challenges in real life and thus being less prepared to take on others. This feeling exists. What is wrong with the ED Literatur as i understand it is that it claimed to but in fact did not capture that phenomenon in the lab. #ListeningEffort #EgoDepletion

A recent You Are Not So Smart episode covered the "ego depletion" studies now failing replication: https://soundcloud.com/youarenotsosmart/100-the-replication-crisis

A new set of studies show that if "ego depletion" exists it is not biological, but cultural: https://digest.bps.org.uk/2017/06/12/reverse-ego-depletion-people-in-india-find-mental-effort-energising/

If you were raised to believe that willpower is a finite pool, it is.
