If motivation is no longer a problem for you, that could be something really interesting for the akrasia discussions. What changed so that motivation is no longer a problem?
Thank you very much for writing this up. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if akrasia has a neurological basis, and I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen any posts really looking at it from that angle. Dopamine?
And on the other hand, your story is also about ideas and circumstances that undercut motivation.
