When I had a job I didn't enjoy I would set a target then wehen reached I would do a bit more which then became a bonus mentally ,it did though give me pains everywhere now .So you do it the right way .Been a very pleasant weather day today but spent 4 hours on one of my least favourite gardening jobs , moving lovely composted soil from the compost tip to a border ready to plant up in spring. It's back breaking work made worse by a puncture on my wheelbarrow.
Done about a third. Fortunately there's no rush and I will just do it but by bit when we have decent weather. The forecast for Christmas Day looks good but I might draw the line !
