Having a site like PatientsLikeMe for anti-akrasia techniques would be awesome. Or productivity techniques in general.

If somebody made an open-source, easily modifiable and pluginnable platform for a general "report your experiences with thing X" site that could be customized into reporting about anything, be it akrasia techniques or medical treatments or something else... they'd probably contribute more utilons to the world with that action than most people ever will.

You should check out the Quantified Self, both for finding existing tools and for finding people to use future tools.

Thankyou! I'll make use of that.
