I have a wacky idea about overcoming chore avoidance. The fundametnal reason I don't do chores is there's always something more fun to do. For instance I'd rather go out for coffee than tackle that pile of paperwork on the table. So... if I can just trick my brain somehow into thinking those chores are really fun. Really fun and satisfying, better than sex or chocolate ice cream or anything. Or maybe just more fun than going out for coffee. If I could do that, I could get my whole life in order. If I could make plowing through paperwork fun, and going on job interviews fun, and calling up the gardener fun, and taking the car to the shop fun, and all those things fun, I could do everything I want to do in life.
Surely I can somehow trick my brain into enjoying those chores. If I just had that one skill, I could do everything.
