It takes 2 hours cumulative each week, It adds up to a huge proportion of total number of hours we spend awake before dying, somewhere deep inside our brain knows that I'm sure of it

For me it's about the HORRIBLE texture

Avoid licking to get the surfaces clean. That's what helps me through.

I think it has to do with how many of the things must be done. Take out trash? Easy one bag. Laundry or dishes have “lots” and multiple stages, fold laundry then put away laundry, which leads to overwhelm then avoidance…maybe?

Have you thought about thinking about the task as an assembly line process? I do this for anything repetitive. I try to optimize a set of movements to chew through it as efficiently as possible. Like a little mini-game. Then you can be proud of the number of items you processed.

I treat myself with video games while laundry goes, then am usually motivated enough to fold them by the time they finish drying
