This works for me in some kinds of tasks. Sometimes when I don't feel like changing the plastic bags in the bathroom tray [1], thinking "ok, let me just remove this bag. I can put a new one (2nd half of the task) later." puts me in motion and I usually do the complete (rather stupid) task easily.

Why ? Is it cultural or technical ?

I've found it in quite a few countries. AFAIK it's a technical thing, the toilet paper can cause problems with pipes and/or water processing.
