In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap! The job's a game
And every task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree!
It's very clear to see
That a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down, the medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song
Will move the job along
Oh, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down, the medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
The honey bees that fetch the nectar
From the flowers to the comb
Never tired of ever buzzing to and fro
Because they take a little nip
From every flower that they sip
And hence (And hence)
They find (They find)
Their task is not a grind...
The 7 dwarves talked about "whistle while you work", many others have said music.
Personally I gamify tasks and try to make them more efficient, or if they're maxed out, enjoy the time I've saved and the efficient task and smooth running of a process. Then the focus becomes the process rather than the sometimes tedious nature of things.
If there's a job that must be done
You'll find it's much more fun
Don't pout, don't sob,
Just do a half-assed job!
If you cut every corner then it's really not so bad
Everybody does it, even mom and dad.
If nobody sees you, then nobody gets mad.
It's the American way!
