Not a complete answer, but something that helps me, that hasn’t been mentioned often, is letting yourself do the task incompletely.
I don’t have to fold all the laundry, I can just fold one or three things. I don’t have to wash all the dishes, I can just wash one more than I actually need to eat right now. I don’t have to pick up all the trash laying around, just gather a couple things into an empty bag of chips.
It doesn’t mean anything, I’m not committing to anything, I’m just doing one meaningless thing. And I find that helps.
