What is the word for a non-creative task?


Example:



"More Effort" is good for [non-creative] tasks, like building a wall or cleaning your room. But when it comes to creative tasks - like writing a novel or music - it is good to get your mind in a placid state where the work feels effortless.



i.e, it's a task you don't really have to think much about while doing. It's not cognitive, per se.
