Yeah, I find that putting effort into a rote chore makes it feel terrible. Like the laundry. Making an exciting new meal, it can taste great. But once it becomes a chore, the taste is worse because of the memory of the work.
I’ve found the opposite. If something becomes a routine chore, it can be optimized and almost trained into muscle memory. So the effort put into it actually lowers.
Like I’ve already done it for breakfast and it’s one of the best foods, because it takes so little effort to make it, eat it, requires absolutely no thinking and can be repeated infinitely.
