It only took a little time

I can normally get through most necessary tasks with no problem. But there are a few that I put off and put off until it really weighs on me. Then I do it, and it was quick and easy.
One of those was cleaning off the table in the tatami room, which I had not been using during online teaching because I blocked the door. Kids don't need to see my mess. That room turned into a pile of junk room. I started cleaning it almost a month ago and got as far as only having the stuff on the table to move. I finally decided to bear down and do it. It took maybe 20 minutes. There was a lot less junk there than it looked like, and by this time I have other things organized so I knew where to put those things. Done!
I wish I wouldn't put things off that are distasteful. I know it would be wiser to just do them and be done... but they just keep showing up.
What kind of easy task do you put off?

I have put off quite a few of them since March and start of lockdown. I know I have to just get up and finish them without pushing them much further.

I'm going back to school next week, so that's why I got motivated to finish things.

I'm almost scared to pull stuff out of the back of my closet.

Sometimes it's just folding the clothes. They sit on the spare bed for days but really it only takes a few minutes to get rid of them.
