Could be one specific task or just in general.
Go slowly. Small tasks like washing the dishes can be enjoyable when done well
Time myself. Racing the microwave is an example: How many dishes can I get into the dishwasher while my soup heats up? Can I take out the trash before the beeps/with a minute to spare?

Oh, alcohol is bad for you.
Delegate. It’s so much fun when other people do em.
I love hard work, I could watch it all day.

Resolve moral conflicts to unlock higher dopamine levels across the board
Don’t think about it as “I have to do this”. Think of it as, “I get to do this.”
Be grateful for the things you have, the things you can do, and the people around you.
When you have a toothache you yearn for a time when you didn’t. This hard work you are doing is the time without a toothache.
