Let's face it, most of the work we do is boring.Report-writing, boring presentations that drone on and on, and suchlike.What do you guys do to stay motivated?Any tips for cutting the tedium out of necessary tasks such as report-writing?

I developed a 3-step approach:1) Focus on the next project, telling myself is going to be so much better than this c*ap2) Move to the next project3) Repeat as aboveConstantly thinking that there is something better ahead (a better project, a pay rise, a promotion) is what makes most consultants carry on, until they realise that really it just gets worse and worse.Feeling optimistic today as you can see. Hope it's going to get better when I move to my next client.

One of the best posts I've seen! Soo true!Also I'd say focussing on finishing something quickly so you can do something more interesting (run, pub, flirt with the HR staff, smooze a partner - whatever turns you on).
