Not quite related but when I have no motivation to clean I set a timer for 5 minutes per room. It becomes a race for me to see if I can get it done in time. I might do something similar for exercise.
Side note, I have a notification for daily tasks that notifies me every hour until I do it. It annoys me enough that I do it.
Not everything works for everyone though.
I do the timer thing, sort of! But I'll do it in the form of multitasking. Say if I have a kettle on or coffee/tea brewing, I'll see how much of the dishwasher I can unload in that time.
I love that idea. My partner also does this. She likes to see how much of the kitchen she can clean when the kettle is boiling.
