Nice!

I often frame things in "is there going to be a better time to do this?", or "am I ever going to want to do this more?" If not, I may as well dig in.

Also, recognizing the time I freed up afterwards is super gratifying.

This is absolutely how I motivate myself to do chores. Including occasionally passing things forward to future me when I don't have the gumption today.

FWIW I think making yourself inaccessible to a toddler would be more traumatizing. +1 for being available for your kiddo, even when you really didn't want to be.
