What menial tasks do you enjoy?

Assembling ikea furniture.
It's basically life size k'nex, what's not to love?

Anything that requires some brute strength.
I haven't sportsed in a few years now due to university but before that I was always actively practicing at least one sport since the day I could walk. And it feels surprisingly good to scratch that particular itch again, even in a small way.

Anything that doesn't require much thought, as long as I get to listen to a podcast while doing it.
What bothers me about these tasks is how they're so uber simple, yet impossible to deal with once and for all. Like ironing or doing dishes. Hence the beauty of adding the podcasts: not only do they distract you from a task you don't want to be paying attention to anyway, they also make the constantly returning nature of the chores more of an advantage than a disadvantage. Since they're actually kind of fun now.

P...playing video games?
Does that count?
If not drawing, I like to draw a lot.

Anything that is so simple that i end up more focused on thinking of whatever is in my mind at the moment than actually doing it
Like brushing my hair(but only when im not in a hurry), brushing my teeth, taking a bath
I've also been enjoying feeding my cats recently, before it was more of a chore and my mother had to remind me to do it, but for some reason i've begun liking it

I thoroughly enjoy digging. Most of my friends think I'm insane when I just decide to dig holes out in the paddock for no real purpose.

You'd love to live in my house, i have a lot of pets and they die all the time, i had 2 bunnies once and they really loved each other, so some time later i had 30 bunnies at once
Now, i don't have any bunnies, but i have Guinea pigs in my garden, the males and females are separated so they hopefully won't multiply further
A cat(not my own) has been sneaking into my garden whenever they have children and killing them all, but it seems it doesn't mess with the larger ones
It's the first cat that's done that, a lot more have gotten into our garden but left everything alone

captcha:have fun

 

[Shock and Awe]

I have three now that I think about it. Shining shoes, splitting wood, and cleaning guns. The shoes and log splitting are nice because they allow my mind to wander a bit, and they require a bit of skill to do really well. I love cleaning guns simply because I love working with the machinery.
