Here’s a super common pattern of procrastination for me that is similar to fear of failing, or even related: “I’d rather do $ANYTHING than $B because I don’t actually know how to get started with $B or haven’t yet decided it’s the right next step” In those moments the gut is trying to tell me something important. Usually $B is not in fact the correct next step and a better option $C exists if I just take the time to look around a little. Of course sometimes the gut is just afraid or needs more info in which case you gotta give $B a forceful attempt to see how it feels. Often it ends up working just fine or you gain additional info that makes $C super obvious.
