Yes, indeed.
Short answer - - Chocolate, lots of it.
Long answer - - I have been sitting under a scraggly black spruce in the pouring rain in the Yukon - which really offers no protection - combined with having pipe problems - and have wondered, "Why am I doing this?"
What usually works best is finding a little time for respite if the funds permit. It doesn't have to be super luxurious, just a little pause with some amenities.
PS - And make the boys of all ages do all the errands, too.
