It's only human to not want to do what you don't care about. The part that most people don't realise is that what you care about is a choice. It changes over time and it's purely subjective.

You might feel that what you care about is an inherent part of you, but in truth what you care about you've chosen to care about. It's either important to you, or of interest to you, so you care about it.

If you want to enjoy what you are doing, you have to care about it, or drop it completely. How do you care about stuff? Connect with it, and love it. If it's something like cleaning or schoolwork then you have to connect with the deaper reason. You have to make the task important to you on a deeper level. Then the motivation will come naturally.

It's not about forcing yourself to do what you don't want to do, but in realising what you have to do, is really what you want to do, in the long run.
