First, make a list of everything you have to do. Each time you complete a task, mark that task off your list. Your motivation to continue and get everything done will kick in once you see the tasks disappearing from the list one by one.

Second, start with the things you like doing the least, and make it fun. Play your stereo loud or take your ipod/walkman with you, and turn on some music that gets you in the mood to get moving. This will make it seem less like work.

Third, take a short break in between every chore / room you get done. Give yourself a chance to recuperate so it doesn't feel like a non-stop suck-fest. Whatever you do, keep it brief so it doesn't distract you from getting your work done.

Fourth, once you get all the hard / boring stuff out of the way, the stuff you don't mind doing won't seem so bad. Just keep reminding yourself that you're almost done, and think about how nice everything will be when it's finished.

Finally, don't view this as one big long chore you have to do that's going to take you all day - that'd be overwhelming for anyone. Instead, break it down into more manageable steps (like one room at a time / one hour at a time) that make you feel better about having to do this.

Your attitude will determine whether or not your day is miserable or something you can get through.
