often, no matter how stupidly simple a task is, I'll goo full meta and reflect on how to do it properly, the solve all these problem on paper by reflecting on how to do them properly, hey, time to take cook dinner and the garbage out !

Pondering about the task isn't really procrastination. In fact some of the most productive people I have seen in my life do exactly that.

Yes, but there's a fine line between pondering a task or doing "research" and procrastination. I do a lot of writing of various sorts and an editor of mine had the saying that "writing is discovery." By which he meant that, to a significant degree, you have to just get into some tasks before you can know how to complete them.

I feel this way when doing sports. Often the desire isn't there, the sensations only come back after 15 minutes in.

I understand and agree, but when nothing ever progresses, not even your understanding, it's not good. A `while true {}` in disguise
