ill sometimes have this issue when cleaning my cats litter boxes i freeze and will put it off for days cuz i cant make that conscious decision to clean the litter boxes   i can occasionally get around that by not thinking of it as something i need to do but that the kittehs cant do for themselves it can take me a bit to finish but i can if i think of it that way   like glitching my brain into flipping that mom override switch ive seen elsewhere
