Cool! I'd a couple times noticed the effect in me, and once or twice sort of deliberately used it. That is, deliberately decided a little thing to be an excuse to do something, which made it easier for me to do so. Hadn't really thought of it though, and didn't know it was a "known" thing that's been studied.
