You know, unfortunately I’m so much worse at not lying to myself than at not lying to others. (Then again, I’ve found a way to put this to a good use: if promising myself I won’t eat junk food from the vending machines doesn’t work, I promise that to my girlfriend instead. See also Beeminder. Yvain’s “fictional deities” approach also sounds interesting.)
Some day I really should get around to writing the post I’ve been thinking of for about a year.
Write the bad version now. Don’t worry about the good version until you have a complete bad one.

Just don’t lie to yourself.
