This week, my therapist and I talked about the nature and subtleties of my major forms of akrasia, and have begun the conversation that I hope will help me change or break them. After years of trying to deal with these problems by myself, it’s oddly freeing to be beholden to someone else and also to have someone who is committed but not emotionally bound to me and my success.
My focus this week is to think of possible mantras that I could use to stay on task and begin (if not complete) tasks I know I need to do but I don’t want to do. Lots of rereading of the anti-akrasia threads here.
