I’m wrestling with my willpower today. There’s a chore I need to do but I abhor it (that’s the first hint.)
I have it on my calendar so I won’t ignore it and it came up last week. I keep moving it forward. I decided that today is the day.
I will wear my noise canceling headphones while doing it (hint #2.)
But I still am procrastinating. Maybe if I get off this site and don’t let myself eat or drink until it’s all done?
Or start with one room? It can’t really suck that much? (hint 3)
@CJLavoie
Eat and drink. For sure.
When you start the chore, reward yourself however makes sense.
When one room is done, big reward! Back pats, you are the awesome-est! Champagne!
You get the idea; operant conditioning. Works for most animals and unless I miss my guess you are in the Family.
@b4cks4w Unfortunately I already reward myself for doing nothing so I’ve broken that one lol!!!
@CJLavoie Mine is to do the damned thing _with an extra cup of coffee_. Now where is Jeeves to make that coffee...
Jeeves!
@b4cks4w Okay, I have one room prepped. I’m going to finish that one before starting the next. You’d think I would have a system for this by now.
I miss my robot. I used it on the screened porch and it got overwhelmed by the dust and pollen out there and now I’m afraid to use it indoors.
I used to let it run while I went to do other things. Sad.
Three rooms done. I am making the executive decision to call it all finished. Since I have bad allergies I know I should get as much dust out of the bedroom as possible.
I can use quiet and cordless tools to deal with the other rooms.
Nature and I abhor a vacuum.
@b4cks4w I had a whole pie yesterday. I’m easily pleased.
Right now my motivation is to be able to scratch it off my to-do list.
