At least for me, it always comes down to overcoming the inertia to start and procrastination. Otherwise, in my mind, I am always running what needs to be done, in what order, how soon, etc.
The tasks that don't get completed on time are usually the ones that I perceive as low value, even though they need to be done in my current corporate environment. Also some tasks that first look important or urgent eventually can become unneeded in the end; so the problem might be one of correct prioritization of tasks.
My best success of getting things done is with time boxing and literally setting Outlook meetings with myself with a clear task definition as its subject.
So let's say you could put your task maybe like "Do work report", and it helped you break down a clear task definition with the prompting and suggestion buttons to get you to a specific definition you're happy with like "Write a 2 paragraph introduction of the work report with financial data in 1 hour".
Then you can get an estimate of the priority of that task relevant to other tasks, maybe through some sort of "list out other tasks" coach responses, and then it organizes them into a visual block display that gives you estimated priorities by the AI. You can then edit those priorities by visually dragging the task blocks around to decide your order. Once you're done, it automatically sets outlook meetings with you to complete the tasks.
Do you think a workflow like that would benefit you?

But I can already do that in Outlook by moving the "meeting" blocks around.
A benefit that I can use would be some help in creating more specific task descriptions, as you mentioned above, given the amount of time blocks that I have open on my calendar. Something like given a complete task, help define specific sub-tasks that will fit my calendar and let me complete the whole task within a given deadline.
