First I will say, Stéph is right about what you will need when there is emotional reasons, or dangers, in getting the task done.
Now, the most powerful thing I have found in MLO is how a task can be broken up as much as you need it. This is extremely important for me because of my neurology, everything that seems simple to somebody else is a "daunting task" to me! So I have to learn that I don't even need to look at the whole thing at this moment. If the task seems like it would be bad to just do, then I consider one or more subtasks that would PREPARE for this. The beauty is that when I add subtasks, MLO easily disappears the parent task from my flat or "Active" todo list so I can just focus on what I am ready to do for now. I guess one of my first tasks was to find a therapist I can talk to about the tasks I'm not ready for, but for some tasks there were simpler subtasks like taking an online course (it one case it would be relationships) that would help me complete it.
