This is why I've started giving myself treats after I finish something like dishes (sometimes during, too). It's not much, but it helps get through it!

But you can just have the treat without doing the task.

Just take the treat.

Do it.

You know you want it.

There's nobody stopping you.

There's no immediate consequence for just taking the treat.

Just take it.

Do it.

That's why you do it while you're doing the task! Sometimes after, sometimes during. Maybe always both.

Brain: "Did you realize that while you were doing that there were thirty other things you didn't do?"

Is sleep one of them?

Or my personal favorite:

You don't miss 100% of the shots you don't take!
