Today I'm going to read several thousand pages of Chinese history.
But I can't read in a messy room.
Today I'm going to clean my room.
But I can't clean my room without first doing my laundry.
Today I'm going to do my laundry.
But I can't do my laundry on an empty stomach.
Today I'm going to make myself dinner from scratch.
But I don't have all the materials.
Today I am going to go grocery shopping.
But I don't have any clean clothes.
Tomorrow I'm going to get out of bed.
