How do you motivate yourself to do un-motivating work?
yesimahuman: We are the same exact person.  I'm in my last year of college and I'm doing intro classes just to satisfy requirements.  I hate it beyond belief, since I feel like it's a complete waste of time when I could be working on my startup.  When I have to do homework or study, I spend hours doing anything but my hw (for example, I post way more on HN when I have homework to do).  When I'm working on my startup, I do little else (girlfriend time stays the same though haha).
