Lean into it. The faster you vomit the quicker you feel better. I kneel in front the of toilet and start thinking of rly gross things, doesn’t take long. Gotta read your body though, kinda have to intuit that it’s def gonna happen.

If you’re just nauseous, drink some ginger or chamomile tea to settle your stomach. Or some ginger ale and some crackers.

If you have chores or a task that you’ve been putting off, even though you know it will take a small amount of time and little effort, but still can’t force yourself to do it…and this is something you consistently do, you might have ADHD.

Executive Dysfunction is a symptom, which is basically that your brain doesn’t give you dopamine for completely tasks, like a neurotypical brain does. For everyone else, they complete a task, they get a dopamine hit that gives them a sense of accomplishment. ADHD brains don’t get that, without a reward for doing a task our brains just say, “I’m not doing it.” And don’t give you the motivation to complete it.

If that sounds like you, do a little research on ADHD and see if anything else fits and talk to your doctor about getting tested and treatment options.

If it’s not you, any of these other suggestions can help.

I don’t know if if this tip actually makes me enjoy the chore, it certainly helps me enjoy the fact that I got it done. I break up the chores into smaller bits and reward my self with a game of what ever it is I am playing on my phone at the time. I don’t play the game unless I’ve completed a piece of the chore. Similarly, I don’t scroll on my phone unless I am riding my stationary bike.
