Are you confusing commitment with responsibility?

If something goes off at night or if you have an idea and decide to put in a few extra hours at 6pm, it's an opportunity to do some work to improve things for the future of your project. You don't have to. Some people like such low-hanging fruit though.

Office rentals and bathroom cleaning are responsibilities like those pretty much everyone has to deal with in adult life. They can feel like a burden if you have Peter Pan Syndrome, but are consequences of life decisions and not special commitments that need to be questioned every day.
