Beeminding Just f- forcing yourself to do it

Akrasia
8

For these sorts of tasks I have found it helpful to have a “One Must-Do
Task” sort of goal (see http://blog.beeminder.com/mustdo/ ). Every time I
completed the must-do task for the day and entered a data point of 1, I
also had to add a comment to the data point committing to a must-do task
for the following day. For these sorts of tasks I found that choosing the
task the previous day was enough lead time to overcome the mild akrasia
induced by the low-grade anxiety, so I didn’t have the problem of putting
off even choosing one; YMMV.
