First, appreciation: I love that calculated modification of self. These, and similar techniques, can be very useful if put to use in the right way. I recognize myself here and there. You did well to abstract it all out this clearly.
Second, a note: You’ve described your techniques from the perspective of how they deviate from epistemic rationality—“Changing your Terminal Goals”, “Intentional Compartmentalization”, “Willful inconsistency”.
I would’ve been more inclined to describe them from the perspective of their central effect, e.g. something to the style of: “Subgoal ascension”, “Channeling”, “Embodying”.
Perhaps not as marketable to the lesswrong crowd. Multiple perspectives could be used as well.
Third, a question: How did you create that gut feeling of urgency?
