Yeah, it's the pressure of needing tasks completed immediately and the obvious importance/need to remove the stress-causing thing.

It's a perfect recipe for hyperfocus and also why I can't set my own deadlines--because I know it's all wibbly wobbly when there isn't a hard deadline from an external source. I'd be rich if I had a dollar for every time I wished someone would just tell me when something is needed instead of asking me to give an estimate.

If the task feels like boring busy work or bullshit and no one told me otherwise, you've got fuckall chance it's getting done.
