The worst menial task I deal with is: Dishes hygiene; I feel like I’m putting in too much effort into washing dishes, and it makes me struggle with doing the task at all.
- I wash a dish repeatedly because I feel like it.
- I try to wash all stains and food off dishes.
EDIT: I also dislike inefficiency, so this would be a good opportunity to improve my methods.
I find I like to listen to podcasts when doing menial tasks around the house. If I find something interesting to listen to then I just focus on that and do the chores mechanically without thinking about it.
