Here is something that may help you. It certainly helped me when I did this two years ago or so. What I did was get a notepad and track all the promises I made to myself. The promises would be small stuff like take the trash out, clean the dishes, put gas in the car, clean my clothes, clean the car, etc. Once I finished a promise, I would write down another one promise. The goal was to do 100 promise. I had to do at least one promise a day, or I'd have to restart back at 1. After I kept 100 promises in a row, I'd win whatever prize I had selected to award myself. That helped make it fun to do several chores at once as my number would quickly move up. It also helped build some self-reliability as I saw myself as being more proactive.
