Are you making work fun?
Check this out this video. It shows that people stop avoiding effort when a task is make more fun:

A common assignment that High School teachers & College Professors give is to write a paper or give a speech as if it were your last one on earth. What would you say? 
It causes us to examine our current day-to-day living and activities at a deeper level.
