Do you mean that one little task is blocking your whole energy to go on with your to do list? If yes, then I can understand that perfectly :-/
I made an agreement with my partner a couple of weeks ago: Whenever I stumble upon such a nasty little task, I can ask them to do it for me. Most of the time it is just something like "call anywhere to get an appointment" or "put away something that requires to go downstairs". Nevertheless, it blocks me.
Let's see if the agreement helps.
