This is alright but Todoist (and likely others) more or less already has ways to do this sort of thing. The typical procrastinator simply keeps pushing the unsavoury todos until they accumulate and then it’s game over.

In the end, my problem is not really prioritisation, but the anxiety and inner conflict that comes from feeling the external obligation to do something. I’ve dealt with it with meditation at times but it’s a continuous struggle, like dieting.

I wish there was a way of selling tasks to my brain. Something that could turn items from “YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!!” to “hey, wouldn’t it be cool to do this?”
