For quite a while I used the rule that my favourite TV show could only be watched in the gym on my tablet. So if I wanted to really watch the latest episode of breaking bad or whatever it was I had to go to the gym and work out. It compelled me to get to the gym and stay exercising for 30+ minutes. Then I would also typically push out some strength on top of that cardio. Surprisingly effective to tie the two together and build a habit of it over a few months, starting initially lightly it can get you a long way.

If you want to lose weight it would be better to do your cardio after strength. By reversing your schedule you immediately start burning fat in your cardio because it generally takes 20 minutes before you start using these reserves.
