Consider reactive or proactive journals.
A proactive journal is when you make a physical list of the chores you're going to do today, such as on a whiteboard, and you check off each one as it's done. There's a little dopamine in drawing a line through or removing something you accomplished.
A reactive journal is when you have a diary or similar book next to your bed. Each night, you write out what you accomplished. Again, a little hit of dopamine for completing some.
I used the former until chores simply became a habit. Now I don''t consider them "work".

This is why it's important to me kids do chores at a young age.
