No. Don't fix it. Akrasia is just awful.
Although you should be able to decide on what you want to work, a thing that seems to be excluded by the sentence "work obsessively".
Exactly. You could say that I have just as much akrasia as others, just about different things. I always tell my friends/family/boyfriend that I'll be less busy/take a break at some point, and I keep putting it off, despite often realizing that a state of constant near-exhaustion is not maximally efficient and that I would be able to focus my efforts a lot more optimally if I did take a break.
(I type this as I sit at the keyboard at 6 am, ready to bike halfway across the city in 2ยบ C weather, with my swimsuit packed so that I can go swim at the campus pool after my 12 hours placement in the hospital. The marks of a workaholic indeed.)
