Principlev1
Classify every willpower expenditure as either irreducible
Classify every willpower expenditure as either irreducible (requiring genuine judgment) or operational (automatable) — systematically eliminate operational expenditures.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (willpower as finite resource), Cognition Operates Through Dual Processing Systems (System 1 vs System 2), and Human beings make decisions under conditions of incomplete (bounded rationality). Prescribes classification and systematic replacement as optimization strategy.
