Perfect! You don't get points for doing well that which does not need to be done. It's a waste of your valuable (one would hope) time and energy. I remember my childhood Saturday chore: sweeping out the garage. There wasn't a workbench in the garage. It was rarely dirty. The only things I swept up were the occasional leaf and grass clippings dropped by the mower. One morning, I looked up at my dad and said emphatically, "I don't want to do this!" He looked at me and said "You don't have to want to." I realized that what was of no value to me was of great value to him. He liked tidy.
