My guess is that akrasia could be more effectively fought if this community called it was it is -- laziness -- instead of using a fancy Greek name.
One may keep oneself occupied with unimportant but important-seeming work (checking emails twice an hour, gold-plating etc.) instead of concentrating on implementing one's best judgment. I don't think that laziness is a good word to describe this condition.
