Sadly, this doesn't seem to do much for me. I can be 20 minutes into the task and really want to stop it. I think this only applies to certain kinds of personalities.

Worse, I remember that I disliked the task through its entirety and I'm very acutely aware of that and start associating starting it with a bad experience.

I would have the same problem if I started doing things I don't like. I'm fortunate I can do things I like, but that's because I made sure I can do things I like. And that started by quitting doing things I didn't like.

I think that's a good philosophy to have, but there are still many things that I don't like, such as cleaning. I don't see any way to resolve that outside of hiring a housekeeper, which is not really worth it at the moment. Not to mention all the people in the world who definitely don't have such resources.
