How this pattern works

You may start with good intentions and still end up somewhere completely different. New messages, ideas, tabs, tools, and small wins offer immediate stimulation, while slow or repetitive work struggles to compete. This can make you extremely productive on interesting things while the important low-stimulation task remains untouched. Your problem is not a total lack of energy. It is where that energy gets captured.

One thing to try

Give the task a short game-like container: 15 focused minutes, one visible target, phone out of reach, and a clear finish line.
