I have quite a lot of free time to do anything I want, but I am immobilized by the number of seemingly equally good choices.

I have all planned tasks done, but I'm not going to be searching for more "extra credit" tasks. I'd rather watch TV.

Others tell me that I don't do enough even though I know I do plenty. I'll show them what "doing nothing" means then!

The task is new, not in my area of competence. I have no skills to do this, but I said "Yes" to please them or look competent.

Resentment
I resent having to do anything, sometimes even things I enjoy, because of inertia and/or apprehension. Things seem to be too much trouble. After I get started I may be ok and even enjoy doing the work or activity. Too many things seem like too much effort. Another aspect: If I do whatever needs to be done, I lose.

Its bizarre but I have the same issue with resentment. When it comes to simply chores especially and even worse when its busy work. Even things such as: I want to have a salad but I resent having to chop the veggies or I want to clean up my coffee table but I resent having to do it or I want to put a new curtain in my bedroom to block out all light while I sleep but I resent having to install it!! but like you said, once I get going, I enjoy it usually.
