Yes, I know the feeling. The couch is my safe place.
The mind is a weird and mysterious place

That only makes it worse.

Just after you get comfy the need to visit the bathroom is overpowering, where you find a tap dripping or similar,
or you are thirsty, so you visit the fridge only to find someone hasn't restocked it, and the door seal has split,
or you're peckish, but there are no nibbles, see above, so its over to the freezer, which also needs restocking but there are a few ready made meals in there. But on closer inspection they all say "unsuitable to heat from frozen, defrost at room temperature for 4 hours", on slamming the lid closed in disgust you see it hasn't closed fully, damned thing needs defrosting.
So you bite the bullet, consult bank balance, out of luck there, check credit cards, here your lucky there is enough available but that new "must have techy thing" will have to wait another month. Find jacket but not car keys, they are in the pocket of the trousers you wore yesterday. The pair of shoes you found need new heels fitted, urghhhhh.
On starting car, a little light comes on, look in handbook, which was under passenger seat, "how did it get there", it's the reminder that the car needs a service, maybe next month. But brakes squeal every time they are used.
You get to supermarket at exactly the same time as the school run mum's who have to shop so the rug rats she has in tow can be fed, it takes twice the average time it normally takes.

You might have had more fun and got much more satisfaction doing that little job that you were so reluctant to do.
