Aside from the origin, there're situations in which you need to somehow shave the yak.

Yes, it's about procrastination, but not of the task at hand. You procrastinate in some older task that's really blocking what you need to do now.

It's chain procrastination. Oldest task blocks older task that blocks old task that blocks current task. It's evil because it overflows the task planning buffer. Also you get used to say nah when you start to think in a task in that general direction.

Maybe you should shave the fricking yak already. Or maybe you should use fake yak hair, idk.
