Just read a paper suggesting that “depleting” willpower is a mechanism that gradually prioritizes “want to do” goals over “should/have to do” goals. I’m guessing that “terminal goal hacking” could be seen as a way to shift goals from the “should/have to do” category to the “want to do” category, thus providing a massive boost in one’s ability to actually do them.
