I don’t think the problem is “free will” so much as “will power.” I’ve grown up with people telling me over and over again to “just try harder.” Often taking tests was a an ordeal for me because the pressure and the stress would undermine my concentration to the point that I sometimes wouldn’t finish in time. The harder I tried, the more stressful and more elusive the goal became and the more frustrated I would become because (as I was so often told) I knew I could do it.
I don’t know how you would define will power but I think for folks like me, it’s in very short supply.
