people who spent a pleasant day are more willing to do some unpleasant but important task in the evening, compared with people who had a busy and frustrating day and how they finally have one hour of free time that they can spend either doing something unpleasant but important, or browsing web.
This makes a lot of sense. I’m a get-shit-done kinda guy and this could possibly be because I’m also very happy most of the time. I think that I’ve had a bunch of unintentional and intentional success spirals that I’m very grateful for.
The thing about “far mode” vs “near mode” makes a lot of sense when you were talking about exercise as well.
Just on a personal note and from personal (anecdotal; but there is probably non anecdotal evidence as well somewhere) experience, eating healthy and exercise are the types of things to give you more energy and motivation to do more things that give you even more energy. They are like their own success spirals.

I appreciate your in depth response, thank you.
