Difficult: The task seems challenging and demands a high level of skill or effort.
Unclear: The task lacks clear definition, leaving you unsure about the end goal or what "done" looks like.
Scary: Procrastination serves as a safety net, keeping you in your comfort zone as the task feels intimidating or triggers a fear of failure.
Tedious: Simply put, the task is dull and unexciting, making it hard to find motivation.
