Hating Chores

As much as I hate household chores, they provide both a structure and an impetus I lack in my vastly spacious world. Dishes, laundry, mail, trash, all continue to pile up until dealt with. Best, of course, to address while discreet and managable. The consequences of avoidance are immediate and ugly.
Of course, those who know me know how negatively I respond to negative motivations. Needless to say two negatives do not make a positive in this case. Hence the conjecture whether the unintended effect of structure holds potential for unlocking the fortified gates of resistence.
Not that I'm ever going to jump up and down about my chores. (Though I suppose temper tantrums involve similar motions.) But it would be nice to get at a more constructive motivation for keeping the piles down. Every moment is my life, even the more mundane ones.
