I have similar issues, severity varies over time. If I am in a bad place, things that help best: - taking care of mental health. I do CBT when i’m in worse shape, and take SSRIs. YMMV. both getting dianosed and treated are important. this also includes regular exercise and good sleep. what you have described might be (although does not have to be) related to depression, anxiety, attention disorders. - setting a timer for a short time, can be as short as 1min, and doing one of the avoided tasks for just that 1 minute. it kind if “breaks the spell” for me - journaling, helps to “debug” the problems, and in most cases leads to wring down plans / intervations / resolutuons
