I don't normally have problems with akrasia, but this idea seems awesome. I'll have to try to implement it next time I can consider taking a day off.

I'm a little concerned about other people adopting my idea, because it doesn't seem that it would work for everyone. I recommend trying it for the first time when you're on vacation for a week and you want to use part of that vacation to work on a nonessential personal project you're being akratic about, like writing a novel or something.
