I keep avoiding the important task
You know what the one important task is. You keep doing easier things instead.
▶ DETECTED BUG
avoidance_proxy.exe
▶ WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING
Easier tasks are running as a proxy for productivity so you do not have to face the hard one. The proxy never expires on its own.
▶ OS REWRITE
Doing easy work to feel productive is a fake checksum. The hard task is the only task that moves the score.
▶ NEXT ACTION
Open the hard task. Set a 10-minute timer. You only have to start. Stopping after 10 is allowed.
▶ KILL COMMAND
sudo kill -9 avoidance_proxy && exec hard_task --duration 10m
