I can get that way of "Here is a list of things that I can do; but I don't want to do them"
I get this way quiet a bit, but I do the things or some of things I put on my list- I like to knit some times and make stuffed animals; usually when I start them, I am like OMG this is going to take forever and why am I doing this--- BUT then as I am getting to finishing product- I start to smile- when the product i am making is finished; well even though I can be hard on myself, it is still like an accomplishment that makes me smile, and say- well I did that- and glad I did....
I get this way with cleaning- though cleaning is a different thing with me, I can get mad while cleaning and complain while cleaning, and when done- am like wow, i cleaned this and it looks nice- i feel so much better to see a clean apt.
IDK if that helps- Just saying some times, it is not the initiative starting of things, but the aftermath of what you did that you reflect on that some times does make one feel good
Of course going back to cleaning---- i get that aftermath, then when it is messy again I am like-- WHY Do I Try LOL but I do it again.....

but that is just my crazy little thing with me.
