Ego Depletion

You could remind users how much effort they'd face rebuilding everything manually, so importing existing settings feels like the easy route for ego depleted users.

Example from

Arc

Try opening with a single, easy-to-answer question that leads straight into a lesson, so users reach value in about one click, before ego depletion sets in.

Example from

Ahead

If users back out of a big decision, you could offer to remind them later, giving ego depleted users a natural pause to reset, rather than abandoning the task.

Example from

Klima

You could reword a sign-up CTA as something lighter, e.g., "tell us your interests", so account creation feels like less effort for users already low on willpower.

Example from

Blinkist

When asking for subjective input, try anchoring each option to something obvious, like being able to talk, so ego depleted users spend less mental energy answering.
