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.

I'm actually really curious about who this is, because it is probably someone I know but I can't think of who.

It's Bryan. I've seen him at some DC meetups so you might know him. If not, he made contact information available to other Boston Megameetup attendees in the survey.
