I generally agree, but this post was mainly about what happened, with a bit of attempted general solution on the side.
The banhammer thing has been working for me for a while now, so it’s not totally fresh.
The other idea (realizing what the stupid project did to my productivity) worked immediately and helped me get something done. Even if it only works once, it’s worth it to post, I think.
Again, the techniques aren’t really the point, that was just to give a bit more perspective on how the akrasia felt and how it felt when soved. The real point was a case study of the productivity blocking phenomenon (which I have seen before).
