Anyone else wants to share their anti-akrasia experiments?
Making a list of things to accomplish next day each evening worked moderately well for me. Logging all my activities quickly became a pain in the ass. Following a routine in the mornings and evenings worked fairly well until I realized my routine needed refactoring, abandoned it, and never got around to refactoring it. (As a general principle of self-improvement, I think it’s important to stick with solutions that you suspect are suboptimal but are still better than whatever your default pattern would be. Let’s say you’re thinking up some scheme for yourself and then say “I’ll never get this right”. Well, if the scheme you’ve got so far is better than what you’d normally do, you should still stick with it.)
