If I’m in a place where I know I can’t vomit, like a crowded public place, or having to clean up someone else’s vomit (I’m a sympathetic puker), if I smile really wide, like crazy beauty queen, it will suppress the urge to puke.

Really only a temporary measure though.

For my car sick kid, I would roll down the window, gave him take his shoes and socks off, sometimes his shirt too.

I've seen the timer dice- it looks like a 6 sided die where each side has a different preset time limit- and want one so bad. I can just... roll it... and whatever time limit it gives me will be how long I work on that chore. And if I feel up to more when the timer is up I can always *roll it again*. It makes the D&D geek in me happy.

You don't have to enjoy them, but you don't have to hate them either. Think of doing them as being nice to your future self. When you've finished one- even if it's just one small part of a larger task- tell yourself you've done good. You'd reward a kid who's new at learning chores, yes? Even if they kinda do it poorly, because they tried? So praise yourself too!
