How do you get motivated?

If you have a task that you don't enjoy doing (let's say, packing), how do you get motivated?

I'm feeling so lazy this morning. My ILs are coming over later to take DD to the park so I can pack without "help." I need all the coffee.

    I mentally bribe myself. "Ok, if you pack for an hour, you get to read a chapter of your book."

    I just jam out to some music.

    I wait until the last minute & then do it like a Tasmanian devil. =))

    This seems to be my method too, but I started early this time because I don't want my parents to think I'm a slacker when they come to help.

    I think this calls for an early 90s dance music marathon. Anyone want to come to my moving party? We have cheap boxed wine.

    Use this as your motivation :)

    I'm like lildis09 too and I usually curse myself whilst doing it like a Tasmanian devil and swear I'll be more on top of things the next time.  It's a viscous cycle.
