your approach to chores should reflect the life you currently live. There’s truly no benefit to telling yourself you’ll clean a little bit every evening if you know you won’t; you’ll simply feel guilty every evening when you don’t do the thing. It’s better to be honest with yourself and come up with a plan you can actually achieve. If all you’re doing is building a shiny new tool that you’ll then use to beat yourself up, it doesn’t count as showing up for yourself.
