Disable flag?

No no, the choices are "Enable" and "Maybe later"

I think it would be much easier and faster to just give the users one option. That way, they don't need to think about what they want and can focus on their work. (satire)

My guess would be that there's probably some correlation between lass choice and decision fatigue.

Whenever I go grocery shopping it always takes me quite a while to decide which rice is worth my hard earned money and which isn't, especially because some rice makes my tiny rice cooker to start foaming all over.

Some people thrive with more options. For those a [Ok] [Hell Yeah!] [Definitively!!!!1!!] set is the perfect fit.

More like "Enable" and "Enable in 8 hours"

With "maybe later" prompting to enable every few minutes, of course only "accidentally". :-)
