My mum used to say: "First the work, then the pleasure." She was very consistent in her own behaviour and in what she demanded of us children. This taught us discipline.
We learnt to think strategically by questioning whether what we were supposed to do made sense and thinking of ways to avoid things that made no sense to us. As she was very strict, we had to come up with really good approaches and arguments. That was learning for life.
For unavoidable things, the joy of the subsequent reward of doing nice things became the motivation to do unpleasant things first.
