I am learning to enjoy yard work by letting go of any specific objectives other than caring for the flora and fauna around our home season over season. I am letting go of house shame or even pride by embracing it is a process not a project. Signs of my progress are just that, signs I am working even on days I am not literally working in the yard.
More to my point, I am finding I can easily and enjoyable get lost in the movement required, similar to my moving meditation practices.
My gardening helps with my Productivity Goblin too but I try to avoid that as a motivation, rather enjoying it as a reward for exercising my love of moving and indulging my new found nature as a sun seeker.
