Is there any expression for "it is kind of [troublesome]?

Here is the situation.

I always wear short pants when I go to gym. Even if it is really cold outside, I wear short pants, because I will end up changing into short pants if I go to gym in long pants. As such, I always wear short pants when I go to gym.

In this situation, I would like to say 'it is kind of _____.'
Are there any words to express this feeling?

I used to say 'it is kind of troublesome.' But I don't think it is the right expression. Would it be okay if I say 'it is kind of chore'?

Continuing the sentence with "to ..." can help you find an apt description. "It is inconvenient to keep changing pants." "It is easier to just use the same pair."

Hi Loy, welcome to EL&U. I've edited your question - please note that not capitalising the pronoun "I" is guaranteed to upset an English language enthusiast (and attract downvotes!). Regarding the word you seek, "chore" is a noun so you'd say "It's kind of a chore", but otherwise it's a perfectly appropriate word to use (although there's nothing wrong with troublesome other than it being a bit old-fashioned).

'It's more trouble than it's worth.'.

For all intents and purposes, it is more trouble to complete the task than the benefits gained completing said task.

'Digging a hole just to fill it up again.'

Generally referring to a task given to someone by a superior as a method of (not so) subtle punishment. Essentially, a task with no rewards.
