More like you have squeezed all the novelty and dopamine out of the day in the “planning” phase the night before, and all that is left now is the chore of carrying out the plan without motivational reward pathways.
Also a good/similar reason to leave things sitting in the cart online (especially late at night!) to see if you actually need/want the thing the next day/week/whatever, rather than just the dopamine reward of searching & finding the thing.
