Productivity seems to include both “improve productivity by fighting akrasia” and “improve productivity by optimizing your workflows”, for example What’s your favorite notetaking system?, so it’s not a full overlap.
Procrastination is the tag that feels most redundant next to Akrasia to me.
Yeah, there’s also Willpower in that cluster too. I think I want a good meta-cluster for that whole bundle but haven’t thought of what it’d be called. There’s overlap between each, but also some differentiation, so I’m not sure, would be interested in proposals for how to carve up and tag that space.
Oh, and Motivation(s). However, that tag has grown kind of huge and I haven’t got to thinking about what it really should be,
FWIW, I’m not a fan of “akrasia”—seems unnecessarily highfalutin to me. Most stuff tagged with “akrasia” is essentially about procrastination, not akrasia as a philosophical problem. (Just found this article on Google.) I think it’s OK for LW to use jargon, but we should recognize jargon comes with a cost, and there’s no reason to pay the cost if we aren’t getting any particular benefit.
(crl826 mentioned that “procrastination” is another related tag in the latest open thread.)
BTW, “productivity” and “akrasia” are another pair of tags that feel a bit poorly differentiated to me.
