That's all I need to know.

Everything else didn't have enough data for me to latch onto.
Life is difficult, and some tasks are not meant to be fun. You can't fix that. You can however reframe your minds' perspective on the manner. Instead of thinking "Man there are so many dishes to do, I'd rather be playing Helldivers 2 now" you can think "I can do 5 dishes... That was easy, I can do 5 more dishes... Look how many dishes i did! I can do 5 more". Even if it's clearly a lie to yourself that you enjoy it, you'll find that your brain will start to believe it.
Over time, your brain will take on the new perspective. This is why "faking it until you make it" works.
It might have been helpful back in ye olden times, but It sucks having it in today's work environment. Boring desk jobs where you sit down and work 8-5 don't utilize it at all. At the end of the day go home wanting to do projects and to work on my future ambitions, but I'm just tired and end up not being able to finish them.
Kinda reminds me of a lightweight C++ Unity with some weird tidbits.
I know this was a little part of my life, but It really stuck with me and still to this day don't enjoy reading fiction for fun due to the negative implications growing up. Occasionally I start to read some fiction but end up getting it on audible to listen too.
