I once talked to a LessWronger who said that he had basically no problems with akrasia, because his image of himself as someone who "had his shit together" prevented him from doing things he knew to be stupid. Unfortunately, I don't have my shit together enough to implement this myself.
Are you thinking of Ken? You could ask him how he implemented that. He's been valuable when I asked him for advice on other topics, and seems to enjoy helping people.
Thanks for the prod about trying to get this to work, by the way. I've been planning to once I get back to school, and having my shit together (to a much higher degree than for full time work) is basically a requirement (and one I've met in past school years, though summer makes me soft).
Nope.
