This week, the Arming the Donkeys podcast features Roy Baumeister, professor of psychology at Florida State University. Roy and I speak about ego depletion, and how the longer we resist temptation, the more likely we are to give in later.

This is a powerful argument to make a decision and stick with it.
Once it becomes a habit, it shuts up our inner kids whining from the backseats of our heads.
Hello Dan!
I am very interested in your work and books,
Do you know any short courses or workshops about behavioural economics in Europe??
Thanks
Best,

Very interesting, Dan. I was wondering if there is an elasticity to the decision making energy that we have? Can we deepen our decision making energy?
I like the comment from biologicon about making things habit, too. However, most solutions seem to be reminders or routines (like your talk with Sreedhari’s advice about keeping child like reminders around last week), and don’t deal exercises to improve our decision making abilities on a quantitative scale (we can’t always be in routine, or surrounded by teddy bears).
Please make these podcasts available in venues other than itunes. Thanks…
I have a Chromebook and cannot download iTunes even if I wanted to (which I don’t). I would love to listen to what you have to say. .mp3 is very accessible. Perhaps you could host it off a Duke server and link to it from here.
I eagerly await to hear your thoughts, but alas, I am not in the iTunes club.

You’re losing folks because of the itunes only thing, myself included.
Best wishes,

Thank you, Dan. Good link.
Hey Dan,
I’d very much like to listen to this but I really don’t want to install itunes. Any chance you can make this available as a direct download?
Petraeus, Kennedy … dealt with situations which required decisive action and a strong sense of empowerment. Are they fundamentally different than say, a (sterile) Jimmy Carter? Is there anything we can measure to support a hypothesis? Netanyahu? Clinton? Do voters get a package deal?

I use an alarm clock as my model for ego depletion. I only use clocks/apps that do NOT include a snooze feature. It removes the choice – you either get up right away or face the danger of oversleeping.
Similarly late at night when I want to start snacking – I grab a glass of water and go straight to sleep because once I start I dont have the “ego” to stop.
Once the decision is a simple yes/no ONCE; then there is no nagging doubt and depletion.
I also hypothesize that one road to alcoholism is via drinking late in the day when we are exhausted. We need progressively more sugar as our oxidative efficiency drops from our most recent sleep/meditative break.
