Funny. I do something similar- Except I call mine "Planner," "Want," "Bum," and "Cynic." I never really considered my autopilot mode anything particular. Usually I just do this when I am struggling with motivation, and usually those four concepts are the main issue- Planning to do something, then wanting to do something else, feeling like not doing anything, and realizing I'm not going to do it so why bother anyway... and reminding myself that they're learned habits and I can get rid of it if I bring in new habits.
