My husband likes to do dishes. That always seemed kind of weird to me, since I'm a person who views chores as activities of last resort. "Not weird at all," he argues. It's a finite job with a satisfying result."
Guess which one of us finishes chores first? Not me. The oppositional part of my mind, which I call the "inner brat," is too busy complaining about the boring drudgery and finding excuses to procrastinate.
By the time I'm done negotiating with my inner brat whether to pay bills now or tomorrow (or this weekend), my husband is done with his tasks, and can sit down and relax.
And moi? I'm better than I used to be, but if I don't curb my inner brat at the getgo, my chores take at least twice as long as they need to, what with dawdling and distractions and all.
I know I'm not alone. Given that there are hundreds of books about making routine tasks less tedious and more efficient, this means that there are probably millions of people who struggle with their own resistance when it comes to chores. If you're one of these people, you may have frequent conversations with your inner brat, similar to the following:
You: "Time to vacuum"
Inner brat: "No. I don't want to."
You: "Look at this place. It's a mess!"
Inner brat: "First I have to check my email."
You: "OK, hurry up and check your email; then get out the vacuum cleaner."
3 hours later ...
You: "Rats! It's 11:00 p.m."
Inner brat: "Yes, much too late to start cleaning now."
You: "I suppose. But tomorrow for sure ..."
In the above interchange, the inner brat has used a variety of tactics: outright refusal (which didn't work), procrastination, and rationalization. When you do finally get to the vacuuming, your inner brat may additionally whine and complain, turning a simple task into a major ordeal.
Did you ever wonder why it takes you so long to get around to certain chores? I'm not referring to physically difficult or mentally challenging tasks; just those that are inconvenient or bothersome.
These are the jobs that the inner brat just doesn't feel like doing, so it comes up with excuses to distract you, or it makes promises to do the work later. Based on your inner brat's track record, do you honestly believe those excuses and promises?Page: 1 2

Virgo Horoscope
To say yes, you have to sweat and roll up your sleeves and plunge both hands into life up to the elbows. It's easy to say no, even if it means dying.
