Procrastination!
**************** source wiki
In psychology, procrastination refers to the act of replacing high-priority actions with tasks of lower priority, or doing something from which one derives enjoyment, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time
Procrastination may result in stress, a sense of guilt and crisis, severe loss of personal productivity, as well as social disapproval for not meeting responsibilities or commitments.
These feelings combined may promote further procrastination. While it is regarded as normal for people to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning.
Chronic procrastination may be a sign of an underlying psychological disorder. Such procrastinators may have difficulty seeking support due to social stigma, and the belief that task-aversion is caused by laziness, low willpower or low ambition.

Improving productivity
Procrastinators may respond with any number of methods for better time management.
Piers Steel recommends being aware of one's "Power hours", when a person's internal circadian rhythms are best suited for the most challenging work (often, but not always, between 10am and 2pm).
Increasing one's feelings of self efficacy (e.g. learning optimism) can also be effective. Steel says that it can be helpful to avoid too much commitment; commit only to the first step.
As Steel explains: “If you can’t run a mile, then run a block. Stop when you’ve done that and the next time try two blocks... personal stories of triumph can bolster people’s spirits for years.
Additionally, it is more important to keep in mind that procrastination is not solely contingent upon one's willpower or motivation to accomplish tasks. When trying to decrease procrastination, a person should analyze the environment and mental barriers beyond completing the work at hand.
Simply trying harder will not work. Understanding the triggers for procrastination be it fear of failure, distractions from the environment, or other reasons can be useful in creating a long term strategy to combat procrastination
******************
Most of the things in life we try to avoid is because we don't know how to do them or stressed or confused... in other words we are unable to decide the next course of action / realize the granular level of the idea or activity.
When you think you need to do it..but, don't know where to start or what to do.. remember there is stuff and there are people to help you get the right directions.. just need to find those people..
Try few things:
- Avoid too much commitment; commit only to the first step. Once you complete the first step you will gain confidence.
- Use paper to write down things which you are trying to procrastinate and then prioritize.. in other words give it a thought.
- Think about what you have written down and convert them into some tasks.. come from backwards and think how much time it will require and what best you can do within that time you have.
- Always consider uncertainty or random tasks which might sneak in your way .. so leave some buffer time.
- Prepare a list of steps on a paper and just commit for the first step.. give it a try.. it might be as simple as opening a website or just opening a document and see it works.. hurray
