> A simple solution is breaking tasks into smaller parts. Let's take an example everyone can relate to: cleaning the house.
Cleaning the house is fundamentally boring. It doesn't matter how many parts you split it into lexically — it's just inherently boring.
Cleaning the entire house is first and foremost a gigantic task that many people tend to procrastinate. Cleaning your desk, on the other hand, is quick to do and much less likely to be put off.
I made a strict rule years ago that I only listen to my favourite podcast while cleaning. This works for me surprisingly well.
I try to frame it as meditative. I can think about other stuff while I wash dishes. It can be a nice break from work, while actually being less boring than a normal break because you still have something to do.
