I suggest just putting all of your effort into doing a good job. Not a marginal job or above & beyond type job, just a good, thorough work. I have found that if I half-ass it the first time, I will just end up having to do it again. It sucks having to use more effort than a slug, but even if it's boring shit you're getting paid to do it.
One thing I have always had to think about is that when I'm working, I'm not just working for a paycheck. My first job is to be at work, doing work. My second job, is my job working for myself. When I get stuck doing shit jobs, or anything really, I try to do it as thoroughly and efficiently as possible.
Even though it may have only been something mundane, doing a good, thorough job, helps me feel good because I know what kind of worker I really am.
My main reason for developing this mentality is because growing up working, I have been surrounded by incompetent fools who value nothing but the time they get off work. Whether it was texting a friend, checking their e-mail, slacking off, whatever, I have always had to work with people who simply don't work well.
What's good about the way I see it, is that I can always have something to show (even if it is to just myself), I can always have something to feel good about.

while i agree with this for actual physical work... shit like rev is probally doing, is just plain boring...
its harder imo to sit down and work hard to get the job done good filling out info... then it is to work hard doin some actual work
