Often those jobs feel so much bigger than they actually are (once you've got the right equipment). I'm like that cleaning out my outdoor quail - it only takes 10 minutes but I put it off (often because of the heat at the moment - if I don't get out there early enough its torture).
Exactly! If I would just do it it would take like two seconds but I always put stuff off. Including or even especially homework lol
And also I'm kind of OCD/somewhat perfectionist/detail oriented too so I have to do everything the best and can't just half butt it ha. Well, with homework I can somewhat cause I wait to write stuff till last minute. But even then I try to make it good. But for example, with something like cleaning the fish tank or sometimes cooking, I can't just make it simple. Example, I was going to just add water to the tank and change the filter because I didn't want to fully clean it and I also had to pack and didn't really have time. Ended up doing all the vacuuming and scrubbing and filling and emptying again etc. and took like an hour lol and before that I had spent like an hour or two cleaning the chickens cause I added new shavings in the nest boxes (had already added shavings to the coop a week or two before), pine pellets in the run to bathe in, refilled food and water, etc. Etc. The pine pellet thing or even filling of nest boxes was probably unnecessary. I was "only" adding tons of food and water to leave them. Nope. Gotta fully clean everything right before we leave lol
I am somewhat like my mom in that regard. She usually always cleans before we leave. Me too except I do animal chores. I wait and wait and wait and don't do them but day before we leave or day of? Do EVERYTHING and tire myself out.
