I've noticed that anytime I have to get something done, I'll start it and then not want to do it anymore. I'm not sure if I just get bored anymore, but I feel like the more I try to get myself to do a simple task, such as setting up an appointment for something, I start to feel uneasy. I want to stop doing it and go do something else. Maybe a feeling of anxiety comes up.

Can anyone relate?

Maybe you are anxious about being put in charge and having other people depend on you. Maybe it's something you need to do but you don't want to do it.
On some things I can relate. We all have those moments when we have to get something done but we really don't want to.
Maybe you've been working too hard and you just don't want to do anything anymore. Take a break a Weekend off or something then go back to work and see what happens.
Hope this helped

Rara,

I do have a similar problem. My issue is that I get a feeling that I should be doing something else to accomplish something better or bigger than these mundane tasks, or that there's a better way of doing this. I've also been struggling with depression, and sometimes the anxiety would also come from what's the point in doing this.

As for advice, as you start doing someting and the anxiety begins to pull you out of it, let it in telling it that this is what you decided to do for now.

Another thing is to install a timer app on your phone and set it to let's say 30 mins, turn off all distractions and when the anxiety pulls your focus away remind it and yourself of the alarm getting closer to going off. After 30 minutes do something very different or fun for 5/10 minutes (e.g. youtube video). Then set the alarm again and proceed. Also, remember to actually silence your phone while the alarm is counting off (this will eliminate the distraction from texts, etc, and the alarm will still sound).

Yet, another thing is to find a youtube of relaxation or study/concentration music (there are plenty of these) and use headphones blocking off all of the noise/distractions.

Yes could be confused with procrastination, but for me it's lack of motivation when I'm depressed. My depression comes from anxiety, I really shrug off the easiest tasks. I can tell when things that I normally can't wait to do, I'll put off. I use this partially as a way to tell how I'm doing at the moment. (My mind makes it hard for me to tell when I'm depressed or anxious)

I can relate, too. I'm not sure what it is... maybe anxiety that there are so many things to do, I get overwhelmed. It makes me very distractable.
Sometimes it helps me to listen to a radio drama or book on tape (as long as the thing I have to do isn't word-oriented), or music.
