Productivity

Procrastination Unblocker

Diagnose why you're avoiding a specific task — unclear, too big, scary, or boring — and apply the matching unblock, not generic willpower advice.

I keep avoiding: {{task}} (what it is, how long I've avoided it, what happens when I try to start, what's at stake).

Diagnose which avoidance this is: UNCLEAR (I don't actually know the next physical action — then define it), TOO BIG (no visible finish — then find the 20-minute first slice), SCARY (a judgment or confrontation hides inside it — name the fear, shrink the exposure), BORING (genuinely tedious — then pair it, timebox it, or question if it needs doing at all), or WRONG (my avoidance is information — maybe this shouldn't be done). Match the fix to the diagnosis, give me the exact next action for today, and the 5-minute starter version of it.

Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
