or perfectionism
I found out that many times I don't start something because I just haven't found the perfect way to do it. I read that lots of messies (people whose houses/flats look like a waste dump) are perfectionists who just don't start organizing things because they can't live with the fact that they can't do it perfectly.

For example I kept stashes of invoices at home because I couldn't make up my mind how and in what format to file them.

What helped me in these regard is timeboxing and the 21day trials/challenges (eg. work 15 minutes every day on this project).
