The feeling of task freeze is the brain's response to a long and diverse list of tasks, leading to a lack of motivation. It is incompatible with our brain to have a mix of varied tasks all at once. Sorting and grouping tasks based on similar types of behavior and the brain's involvement can help overcome task freeze. By categorizing tasks into stand alone groups or piles, such as composing emails or performing small, non-demanding tasks, it becomes easier to manage and tackle them. This approach also facilitates better planning and execution, especially for tasks that require time and non-trivial thinking.
