Chores are not very difficult to do. Most of them don't require any sort of real physical strength, and while some involve strange back positions that hurt after a while, my apartment is too small to have /that/ many strange crannies that require cleaning.
Chores don't really take a lot of time. In a few hours, I've done the dishes, and cleaned up most of the kitchen, dining area, and living room. The apartment is well on its way to looking like a person lives here, instead of a mobile garbage heap.
Finishing chores makes me feel better. I /like/ looking at the apartment and seeing what I've done, and how much nicer things look. I don't mind clutter, but I also don't like having to shove stuff out of the way to go to the bathroom. A clean house is a good thing.
All of these things are true. And yet it is also true that when it comes to actually /starting/ the chores, I keep putting it off and off and off and off, and I hate even thinking about it. This makes no sense. None whatsoever.
And yet, it is true.
Bleh! Oh, well. Clean apartment?
