Ok, I'll give that a try. But just for one day. This seems related to the smart/hard work attitude. If you think you solve problems because you are smart, then come across a problem that seems too difficult you are more likely to give up than if you think you solve problems by working through them. You can't just make yourself smarter but you can work harder. Along the same lines, I think I have some control over procrastinating. Not so much over being lazy.
