I think that when this happens, it's your soul telling you that it needs some attention and nuturing. Chores can wait - do something restorative for yourself!
I know that even though I'm not a working a paid job any longer, I still do alot and I try not to discount that. I don't go out for pedicures often, but I'll take time and do it myself as a treat. I light candles and take a soothing bath with lavender oil. I give myself a facial.
All these little things lets me tell myself that I am worthy and cherished, a message that I must repeat or entropy sets in as this goes against the things I heard and learned while growing up. It isn't easy for me - sometimes it feels like I am spoiling myself. Really, though, what I am doing is treating myself with caring and respect. Very motivating!!ClearSkies
