At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

What you're describing is really common with Data Insights — the avoidance isn't laziness, it's your brain flagging unfamiliarity as threat. MSR, DS, and Two-Part Analysis feel different from Quant and Verbal because each sub-type has its own logic that you haven't made automatic yet. The fix isn't willpower; it's repetition until the format stops feeling foreign.
Here's what actually worked for me: treat DI as three separate mini-subjects, not one section. Spend one full study session only on Two-Part Analysis (TPA), another only on Multi-Source Reasoning (MSR), another only on DS. Don't mix them. The goal isn't to answer questions correctly at first — it's to get so comfortable with the format that you stop dreading it. Once each sub-type feels mechanical, mix them under timed conditions.
The fact that you're self-aware enough to catch the avoidance pattern while it's happening is genuinely half the battle. That metacognition is exactly what the GMAT Focus Edition rewards — redirect it at the question structure instead.
You've got this. Pick one sub-type today and just do 10 questions. That's it.

It helps to be aware that, while, initially, working on unfamiliar topics can be super uncomfortable, with not that much practice, the unfamiliar starts to become much more familiar and comfortable.
So, you can keep that in mind to get yourself to just start working on those topics so that they become more comfortable.
Eventually, doing the questions you dread now can even become kind of fun!
