Want Never Goes Away

"The problem isn't that you are a bad manager of your time, you are a bad tactician in the war inside your brain...What you want no isn't the same thing you'll want later. Now You must trick Future You into doing what is right for both parties."

~ David McRaney, from You Are Not So Smart
