The difference is that I don’t necessarily think the “design” (in this case I guess overall life structure) will be less clean if you micro-optimize, but it will take away cognitive and habit-forming resources away from the things that are actually important.
Although I suppose in the limit of absurd amounts of micro-optimization, it might indeed lead to a pretty cluttered life...
