What are ways to make flossing more enjoyable?

Making flossing fun: I am not sure if you can make it fun but there are ways to make it easier. Try different types of floss. I recommend trying something synthetic like glide or oral b. They slide in and out easier. And johnson and johnson has a new one that is "stretchy". If it is easier to do, you might be able to enjoy it more. Another way to make it fun is to take it out of the bathroom...Do it while watching tv.

Practice: I'm not sure if flossing will ever be truly enjoyable, but it can be a routine that you can get used to. There are other methods that can be adopted as well. The use of a water jet device like the water-pik, or air flosser, and interdental brushes. These don't take the place of flossing, but they sure can make cleaning between your teeth more effective, and "fun".

Healthy fun: There are many types of floss included flavored floss--mint, cinnamon etc. Why not treat yourself to a few varieties and use a different one daily. By the time your used a few different types, you should be "hooked.".
