Comment on Branches of rationality

If I succeed with what I'm aiming for (I'll know somewhere around May) I'll write a post about my experiences and what worked for me in terms of anti-akrasia techniques.

I often find, when I'm reading successful people's self-descriptions of what they do, that I think "Maybe that person's just naturally awesome and the same tactic would be impossible or useless for a mere mortal like me." So I'm saying this now. I am a mere mortal. If I succeed, it will be because of the changes I'm now making in my life, not because of my intrinsic superpowers. And that means you'll be able to follow my example.
