I'd go back to want rather than need. You need to eat, breathe, etc. but all else is optional If you did not, for whatever reason, want to do those chores, I doubt you would do them. Putting it as need sounds like someone/thing else is calling the shots.

When you're being run out of town, get in front and make it look like a parade!

I set some nice goals last night of what chores I "wanted" to do today but haven't done a one of them yet :-)
