Those two statements are, AFAICT, incompatible. How do you know you're completely unable to begin working on it? What stops you? What would happen if you DID begin working on it?
Apathy. According to the attention-allocating part of my brain, it's of lower priority than games and blogs, even though my conscious mind disagrees.
Knowing what I know now, I'd make some progress. A week ago, I would've stared at my to-do list for awhile, unable to decide which item to start with, until the phone rang or something else diverted my attention.
See this comment for an explanation of why that isn't actually an answer. Brains don't avoid things for reasons like "it's of lower priority" - those are the explanations we use to avoid thinking about things we don't like thinking about. Your real answer to this question won't sound anywhere near as reasonable or logical.
