Is it worth putting a "tl;dr" summary at the top of this post? Something like "System II reasoning apparently not correlated with akrasia. Caffeine may be good. Exercise may be good. Deliberately choosing which tasks to work on may be good. Akrasia correlated with unhappiness and anxiety".
Many thanks for the interesting data & write-up.
The exercise/akrasia correlation found here was pretty much nonexistent, and you'd expect lack of akrasia to cause exercise, so if anything this seems to me to be evidence for exercise being harmful.
ETA: On second thought, I'm assuming (p=.3, c=.02) is a typo for (c=.3, p=.02). Then it's not clear to me, after accounting for the above effect, which way the evidence goes.
Sorry, yes, that was a typo. Fixed now.
