If only I had more time. . . Promise yourself a reward for task completion. Even a small child can learn to pull up the covers on a bed. Nix the unnecessary.
Human beings are creatures of habit.
You just might find out nobody cares but you. It's human nature to put off doing things you don't like to do. A task you absolutely hate may be appealing to someone else. Filing, making coffee and taking out the garbage are not gender- specific. It's easy to anticipate situations in which you're likely to be kept waiting.
