Chore paralysis

An overwhelming feeling which prevents you from getting your chores done because there are too many of them. You don't know where to begin and what to get out of the way first. You stare at your 'to do' list unable to decide which burdensome task you should do first.

Similar to choice paralysis only the problem here isn't what flavour ice cream you want to wolf down but a number of boring tasks that have to get done so you can go back to enjoying life.
I wanted to go for a long walk to clear my head but instead found myself looking at my very long list of chores, unable to move a muscle. I was clearly suffering from a serious case of chore paralysis.

Pressing Paralysis

The phenomenon occurs when multiple defenders are in position to challenge an attacking player, but due to hesitation, miscommunication, or uncertainty about responsibility, none of them step up to engage. As a result, the attacker faces less resistance than expected, often gaining space or time to advance. This defensive lapse is driven by a diffusion of responsibility, where each defender assumes another will take action, leading to collective inaction.
It was pressing paralysis at its finest, three defenders doing the ‘after you, sir’ routine while the striker waltzed through like he owned the place.
