I don't think that there is a way to make it fun but I do have a tip to make it faster.... gather all the things that u'll need in a bucket or cleanin basket that way you don't have to keep goin to get diff. things and waste time an energy when u dust start at the top and work your way down cus if u start at the bottom an go up more dust will get were u already dusted. put some music on an try dancin while u clean or move to the rythim

Determine a certain amount of money you want to pay yourself for the work you are doing. Each hour, or at the end of the day put the money in a jar and put the jar in the next room you plan to clean. When the cleaning is over, spend the money on eating out or doing something you like to do. Happy cleaning.

Well, you can take garbage and "shoot hoops" into a large garbage bin. If you miss a lot, it may not be very effective, but it may help prevent the boredom somewhat :) . Painint can be fun too, you just have to have a open mind. Obviously not all cleaning and chores are gonig to be fun, but you have to think of what the end result will be like after all of your hard work, and that should motivate you to keep on going.
And definetly listen to good music. AC/DC!!

Only thing I can think of is put on some music to distract you from what you are doing. Sing & dance along. This will make it go by faster. Think of how GREAT it's gonna be when you finish those things & you get to enjoy your newly remodeled house!

turn some up beat music on, get some friends over, and start painting. Many hands make for light work.

Put on music. Your favorite CD and turn it up loud. Set out beers or your favorite drink. Open the windows for fresh air. Fresh air = fresh house! When you get a wiff of the outside air it motivates you. Personally,i like to put in a good movie and clean while watching it or listening to it. It takes my mind off cleaning.

I like happy/cheesy music (Spice Girls, Aqua) and a bottle of cheap spumante. But that is more for the sweeping/mopping type of cleaning.

Work with music. Take lots of breaks. Have some friends help. Treat yourself to a nice supper as a reward.

Everyone is right :)
Play your fave dance tunes & do not go into your housework thinking it's a chore, do not think at all just pop on the music have a beer then begin :)
Good luck
