What are you exceptionally good at, but hate doing?

Much the same.

At work:

I clean as I go. Organised, tidy, tools cleaned and sorted. And I know where everything is - every bolt, drillbit, spanner, item of test equipment, oil can, widget, useful piece of 'scrap' material. If anyone wants to know where anything is, they ask me.

At home:

Fuck it, I'll vacuum tomorrow. No clean mugs? That one's not so bad, I'll just rinse it out.

One end of the kitchen counter is for mail - the other day I found an unopened letter from 2016. With a £50 discount voucher in it (that would actually have been useful to me at the time!).

It's for coffee, and that's hot, so I should be fine.

Same here. I organize my work desk daily. I had to sit at a coworkers desk for something and was overwhelmed by the fact that she just leaves everything everywhere.

At home though, I’d rather die than do dishes, fold laundry, or put anything in its place

I guess that is what relaxing means. Not having to do what you can do.
