How to Overcome Hyper-Opia With Self-Control

Hyper-opia is an excessive focus on the distant goal of being productive at all costs. You can overcome hyper-opia by pre-committing to indulgences and anticipating that you'll regret your Puritan decisions in the future. Those with limited theories of self-control tend to have more conflicts than those with non-limited theories. The more automatic a decision, the less self-control needed. Don't try to just resist temptations - avoid temptations in the first place.
