I’m not aware of a single sequence on those topics, but you might like to start with these “Akrasia Tactics Reviews” posts which link to different interventions/tricks and where people have reported their efficacy for them.
There have of course been many more posts on Akrasia since then, I’d advise using search (also Google search for “LessWrong Akrasia” for a different algorithm) to hunt around. Sorry about the lack of single Sequence.
An idea I’ve been thinking about is creating a LW Index (like a book’s index, but for the site’s content, very similar to tagging) where you could look up Akrasia and find all relevant posts sorted/filtered, etc. as one pleases. This would help retain easy access to our past store of knowledge.
Searching is my go-to—I have found a number of quality posts on the site already but I had not been dialing in on Akrasia specifically as I was falling down the rabbit hole of new-and-interesting-topics, I’ll see if a handful of keywords appended help with turning up more!
An index with community suggested/moderated categorization would be an interesting and helpful addition—granted, I’ve not been here very long to say that there’s not something filling that role well enough already.
Thanks for the tips, links, and the warm welcome Ruby!
