Your lyin’ eyes
Allen writes about “breaking committments with yourself” as a problem with getting a thing done.
It’s a bigger problem than that, really. The problem is that of flat out lying to yourself about what you want to do, what you are capable of doing, and the real state of the world-context in which you’re moving.
Paul writes about double-mindedness.
Socrates writes about akratic action.
Allen makes a wonderful observation that always breaking promises to yourself just kills productivity.
Paul notes that double mindedness just kills you.
I don’t recall if Socrates observes any existential fallout from akratic action.
