You seem to have assumed that I want to reduce cognitive overhead so I don't have to think.

Rather, I want to reduce cognitive overhead so I have more mental energy for thinking about the problems I'm trying to solve. That way, I can spend a bigger share of my time on productive tasks.

I simply tried to elaborate on your above statement. But since you want to spend more time on productive tasks and given that time isn't elastic, you want to save time on unproductive tasks anyway.
