      For me I notice if I have less than 3500 steps a day type of activity I get extremely lazy and just start accepting procrastination on things. The lawn can be cut next week, the dish I ate off of can wait till morning. Going to the store sounds like a chore.

      When I’m averaging around 20,000 steps a day I want to get more done, so I’ll do that stuff quicker.

      There is usually more mental stuff tied to it, like if I’m happy with my job, I get way more done at home. When I was working 50+ hour weeks but enjoyed it I cooked twice a day, cleaned everything daily, hell at one point I vaccumed the house 3x per week and cleaned my carpets every weekend. When I’m not happy at work or not working I just don’t want to do anything, and I’ll go months without vacuuming because what’s the point.

      Sidenote: if you use a carpet cleaner to often, its not good for the carpets, so find better activities
