This is pretty neat. I would add that the value of time is an interesting concept to link this to. Transportation modelling has had to value reductions in time taken to do <thing> and they do so with revealed preference modelling that is very compatible with expected value theory.
In the same spirit, Cal Newport on the 80,000 Hours podcast argued that office productivity is an important cause area because currently millions of person-hours are wasted and could be used better. Maybe this goes beyond paperwork and towards lots of time-/effort-wasting practices?
