I trick myself into doing the dishes by playing a game. The goal of the game is to finish washing up before the process of making tea is finished (from boiling the water, to the leaves steeping in a cup).
It doesn't feel like a chore because it's 'free time', time I would have spent waiting, doing nothing.
I then walk away with a warm comforting cup of tea and the washing is finished, yay~!
@rek Galley gamification!
