Could you expand on your ideas for better ways to talk about difficulties with taking action?
I'd rather get a really solid framework for reasoning about 'dispositional skill' before I talk about 'akrasia' in particular; this will take a few months of hard work by me and others. We're currently doing a large-scale literature review before we start playing around with our own unifying theories, and the review/learning process should take a month or more. A lot of it will involve talking to domain experts, et cetera.
