How do you motivate yourself to do un-motivating work?
misterbwong: Wise words handed down to me: SUCK IT UP and take care of it.Yea HS busy work can be idiotic.  Yea, you could be using the time for something more interesting/better/cooler/profitable.  The simple fact is that the work needs to be done.If you must find motivation, use the fact that if it's not done, you won't be able to work on the other more interesting things.  There are some tasks that you must do but will never feel motivated to do.  Find a way to do finish these things as fast as is viable, then go work on the interesting stuff.
