My first thought was "Does it matter?".
My second thought was, "Maybe it matters for doing creative thought, which presumably can't be done on autopilot".
Is there a difference between pre-committing and going on autopilot?
I sometimes think "I shouldn't deplete myself by doing unpleasant things that don't matter a lot - I should save my willpower for the really important things." Apparently this may get less true as I age, so I should push myself sometimes to find out how much ego depletion is really happening.
