This is 100% true. Really all of the steps I have above are ways of getting started, that come at the task from an oblique direction. Because you end up doing things like breaking out the task into steps for all sorts of tasks, both good and bad, that step doesn't feel like something that's specific to the "ugh" task when you do do it for an "ugh" task. As a result, its kind of a way of getting started, without actually having to really "start" the task.
