Honestly it's more like

Oh boy, a well-defined task with a beginning, progress, an end, and an obvious benefit to someone! I get to be valuable!

versus

I have several days' worth of clean clothes, there is no need to rush

Yeah, tbh, I tend to not do a lot of my chores because.. I don't feel the need to. Why clean when I'm ok with the current level of dirtyness? Why wash when I still got clean stuff that I want to wear? Etc.

Just realize that your level of comfort with dirt and debris can change gradually. And all of a sudden, you are hip deep in trash

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago

Eh, nah, that actually doesn't happen to me. I do clean eventually.

Yeah, I feel this. My partner hates it that I don't usually help out around the house.
