Anyone know how to motivate people to Home Teach?

It was an incredibly long day for meetings. I got up early (8:45) this morning so I could drop off some stuff for Mark at the church so he could do the lesson (all of the regular teachers are out of town). Then I stayed there and sorted out some things in my binder until our 9:45 interview with the Bishop. That ran pretty long (we got "chewed out" about Home Teaching) and then we headed up to Institute building where we had presidency meeting and then interviews with the President Walker (again, with a lot of focus on Home Teaching). Then we rushed back down for PEC, finishing with just enough time for Jake and I to grab tuna fish sandwiches at my house and eat them in less than 10 minutes before rushing back to church for Sacrament meeting. Then I had a few PPIs to do after church, after which I ran over to Angela's, who had made roast beef and potatoes, which was really good, but we had less than 20 minutes to eat them before rushing up to Stake Leadership meeting. That lasted until 7:15, and of course consisted of a number of motivational talks about Home Teaching. I dropped Angela off at her home, and then raced back home and grabbed Dan to go Home Teaching with me. We visited Erin and tried to visit Big Jake, but he was gone. This gave me thirty minutes to unwind before ward prayer. And after ward prayer we went over to Sharolyn's and watched "Ever After." Apparently this is a very big chick flick, because the girls knew all the lines, but I hadn't seen it in 5 years or more. It's a pretty good film, though. Angela stayed for the whole thing, even though it ended after midnight.
