So... my task for the evening is: vacuum my new bedroom and put fresh sheets on the bed. Both are tasks I dislike and I can feel my brain going into avoidance mode before I've even begun them. I think setting some very firm boundaries on these tasks might be helpful. Also, I'm going to put music on that I can listen to as a distraction. I may need to change the bag in the vacuum cleaner, so I'm going to set a time limit of 15 minutes for vaccuming and 10 minutes for changing sheets...
ETA: Got both tasks done. Zero enjoyment/ sastisfaction throughout tho. Didn't do a very good job of cheerleading myself either. But I guess at least setting very firm boundaries for both tasks made them "manageable" enough for me to grit my teeth and just power through them. Going to try and do some positive self-talk now about having done a good job...
