I asked a couple of dolls how they motivated themselves to do chores, schoolwork, or projects... here are a few of their best answers!

I remind myself that there is sleep when I'm all finished. It's a great motivation! Sleep is the first thing I want when I wake up in the morning.There also is the reminder that I can treat myself to a good book or my favorite treat. My family is the greatest encouragement, though - as the oldest, everything I say or do my siblings will follow, so my parents hold me up to that responsibility.

I feel motivated when I think of how everything I do can help my future. If I do my homework right now and I do it the best I can that will lead to good grades then that will lead to a great college and degree and then a well paying job. I can develop my talents and become famous from them someday. If I do my chores I will be able to know how to keep house when I have a family. To sum it up I just think of what I can be and how to get to that point. It makes me feel great when I know that I can start right now to do well in the future.

I feel motivated when I listen to music. Also, if I have to do something I hate then I imagine that I'm the character of a book or movie who is doing the same thing. For example, when I need to do my chores I imagine that I'm Annie and I listen to the song It's a Hard Knock Life!
