Tedious but necessary –

What chore do you find the most challenging to do?

Yesterday I should have done a lot of things, instead I found myself covering under blankets and binge-watching the newest season of the Vikings Valhalla. I felt bad about my procrastination but the enjoyment from a good show won the fight. Aftermath of my actions made me definitely feel worse after realizing my whole day went by without anything productive done.

If I would need to think about one challenging household chore, I wouldn’t have any. If I’m really not feeling them – it’s really hard for me to do any chores even though I enjoy doing them whenever I have my ‘cleaning moods’. Procrastination is sometimes your worst enemy. You really want to get things done, but just can’t get enough motivation to do them, so you just lay there paralyzed. Scrolling social media or doing dishes? Watching videos or vacuuming? I do it later, after this x thing I’m doing, in a sec. Seconds turn to hours and then it’s already time for bed. And it’s not like cleaning would take a lot of your time if you just start doing it. It just feels like forever and the list seems way longer on your mind. Switching between tasks is not easy, if you are doing something way more fun or entertaining.

But as the chore’s definition is “tedious but necessary task”, I could also say that filing my income tax return is one of the most challenging tasks. I really don’t enjoy doing it at all, however nowadays I know how to do it somehow properly. Eitherway I’m still wondering why they don’t teach these things at schools as it’s pretty much mandatory to at least check them out if you don’t want to get suprise bills at the end of the year.
