I've just finished day #2 of a four day contract to do some gardening work over the course of this week and next, for an office block. (Their previous guy was useless and messed around a lot. Apparently, I've done more in two days than he did in six months! I don't know what he did other than fiddle about all day and get himself fired, because the garden was an absolute mess and seriously neglected. Clearly, the guy didn't want the job and had no motivation or need for the money, like I do. I would know full well, since I've been that guy before.)

I really don't like doing housework (except washing dishes) or yard work, so I'm not exactly enthusiastic or enjoying the work while I do it. However, there's a certain satisfaction to be had from getting stuck in early in the day, working consistently and hard, getting done what's required and getting out again so that it's done and dusted and at least the rest of my day is my own. No good comes of letting things hang over one and building up dread.
