Personally, I struggle with cleaning because it's truly Sisyphean work. Always the same, never done, even if you do it the results don't last.
Games can be played whenever I feel like it, cleaning doesn't always work this way. A visit from the in-laws make it a chore, and my brain can't really let go of that label for some reason.
Some work comes with physical discomfort: I don't think I'll ever feel like picking strawberries in the burning sun for too long.
