Even without the knowledge, I find intrinsic value in training yourself to focus. Also find it helps to focus on how the activity is enriching myself, or future benefit. I might want to leave a sink full of dishes overnight, but if I do them now I frame it as a gift to my future self and the amount of relief I feel having tied up loose ends like this each day is enormous. The more I do it, the better and more efficient the habit becomes, the less time it takes.

There is more resistance to get started because of inertia but once I get going that inertia works in my favor.

I find that thinking about things I have to do is much less enjoyable than actually doing those things. It's definitely true that the more often you convince yourself to just get up and at 'em the easier it is to overcome those mental hurdles in the future.
