LPT: Next time you do a chore you have trouble getting motivated to do, time how long it takes you to do it.

I hate doing dishes and putting away laundry. I timed how long it took me to load up dishes/wash the rest and it was less than 10 minutes. Since learning this, it seems like a less daunting task. Putting away a basket of laundry took about 10 minutes as well!

Before timing these chores, they just seem to drag forever because I hate doing them. Now I just think "I can do this for 10 minutes."
