Explain Why You Keep Procrastinating on One Specific Task
It has been sitting on the list for two weeks and you genuinely are not sure why. This runs through the usual suspects (boring, unclear first step, uncomfortable, not actually urgent) and tells you which one fits, plus one small step that proves it.
Explain, honestly, why I might be avoiding this specific task: {TASK}. Consider the most common reasons people avoid tasks (it is boring, it is unclear what to actually do first, it is emotionally uncomfortable, or it is not actually as urgent as it feels) and tell me which seems most likely given what I have described, plus one small first step that would test whether that is the real reason.
