TIL setting a timer for 15 minutes actually gets me to clean the kitchen

I used to stare at the mess and feel overwhelmed, but telling myself "just 15 minutes" tricked my brain into starting. Last Tuesday I did the whole counter, sink, and stovetop in one go. Has anyone else found a weird mental hack that actually works for chores?

Tuesday night I scrubbed the same three plates for hours so your mileage may vary.

Used to think this stuff was mostly hype, people just doing too much. Ngl your story kinda shook me tho. Three plates for hours sounds like some deep personal struggle, not just a bad dishwasher night. Kinda makes me wonder what else I been dismissing as overblown that's actually real for people.
