Didn't have vocab for it, but seems like I have been doing something similar. For example, having a JIRA ticket on my board that I don't want to do will make me finish all the other tickets. I will procrastinate till the last minu

I do the reading, but now I have a problem of finding the best reading too, and the whole rabbit hole is reading about what could be the best reading. I have been actively working on it, and sticking to one thing and just starting, but i am
