I voted decreased significantly, but I don't think the cause is LW - that's confounded with going to grad school, which I think is more likely to have been the cause, but those are both confounded with increased maturity due to, well, aging.
Poll: only answer this one if your akrasia has improved significantly since you found LessWrong:
Let t be the time since you found Less Wrong (e.g., "two years", if you found LW two years ago). Did your akrasia decrease more in the t years since you found LW, or in the t years preceding your finding LW?
ETA: The poll I just added (as a Google form, here) is better; please use that one instead, so we can see cross-correlations. (That's why I "retracted" this, but I can't figure out how to delete it.)
About the same.
Improved significantly more in the t years before you found LW, than in the t years since you found LW.
Improved significantly more in the t years since you found LW, than in the t years before finding it.
