I wish. The laundry can seriously fuck itself. All I got is time, but some chores can just fuck off. Theres cat puke on the carpet, I gotta go get the bucket and clean it, procastination for real.. every day I spend 80% of it alone, so things seem to matter less. How do you do this? How!?

I hear you, laundry is one of the most annoying daily chores and it never ends. Every time i manage to finally empty the laundry basket. I find multiple piles of clothes throughout the home and the basket is filled once again. I miss a day and i need to do laundry with an intress, 2+ loads during the work week.

But yeah, pretty much not sitting down or at least not slowing down before everything is done. Kinda like taking advantage of inertia, it's easier to keep on going than it is to start again. I know once i sit down for too long(30+ min) and let the tiredness/rut set in, then it's going to be much harder to start going again.

Though kids and rest of the family do provide a rather good motivatior to push through everything and having a decent fitness base does help a lot.

And in the end of the day, if i don't do it then no one will.
