I think the minimalist approach could be a companion to this style behavior augmentation. Rather than adding things that could be done, I only add tasks that have to be done. Overtime, my "bandwidth" for tasks I don't like doing become much greater and, in some cases, I begin to enjoy them. Adding accountability around the tasks helps a lot (in my experience) as well. I frequently use my guilt as a way to motivate me. Ex: - If you don't write these tests, your co-worker will assume you don't know how. - If you don't clean your room, your guests will think you're a slob. Admittedly, it leads to sort of a masochist style of thinking; however, that's my brain by nature.
