There are tasks that we hate to do whether it be household chores, school assignments, work related or for our personal needs. We do not want it, yet it is very necessary that it would be done. How do you manage or drive yourself to the these hated tasks?

hello FehrLady, Oh, household chores sucks! (joke!) hahaha! I'm so lazy when it comes to washing dishes, doing the laundry, scrubbing the floor, etc. It makes me sick to do all of that to be honest. But I still need to do it because that is what responsible person should do. Haha! What I don't like most is to do the laundry. I do it every Monday morning of every week, with other household chores my dad and sister are the ones who do that ~ the dishes, cook, cleaning, etc. I still live with my family and dad. I just take in charge of my room and my own laundry. What I do to motivate myself to do the laundry is...hmmmm...actually, I don't have other choice because I'll be running out of work clothes if I don't do the laundry and wash my clothes. Hihi! Funny right. But seeing my room clean and without any dirty clothes on the bin makes me happy. So that's what motivates me. Seeing faces of my family that I clean our house and do the cooking makes me happy as well. I think those small things makes me motivate to do these household tasks. Happy Lotting!

I love doing the laundry. That is my favorite chores since I was a child. Doing the laundry refreshes me. Maybe it is because of the water. The task I hate most is ironing. I felt so warm and dehydrated.

Well, I just think of all the positive things or positive results these tasks mgiht bring. I always don't like doing math homeworks, so I just think of my grades, I won't want to fail. I also dislike doing some of the household chores, I just think that my mom will be happy if I'll do it.

Just remind yourself of the consequences. If you do not clean you will live in filth, it attracts bugs, and rodents that carry disease, you'll be sick, you won't get to do anything you actually want to do. If you do not do your school assignments you will get into trouble, and you will not be able to do the things you want to do. Or sing a song like Mary Poppins. Also helps to have an umbrella to float around on.

oh just simple, i just think that i need to do it and it only take a very few seconds that after doing it, I can go back to whatever i like doing. So whenever i have to do something i hate, I just think that way. So, I can always do them without hard feelings.
