Honestly it’s more like
Oh boy, a well-defined task with a beginning, progress, an end, and an obvious benefit to someone! I get to be valuable!

I have several days’ worth of clean clothes, there is no need to rush
Yeah, tbh, I tend to not do a lot of my chores because… I don’t feel the need to. Why clean when I’m ok with the current level of dirtyness? Why wash when I still got clean stuff that I want to wear? Etc.
