If you are a salaryman (or woman), a slave to the salary. You might be feeling like you really hate your job but you just have to keep on doing it, keep on earning that salary. One solution to make it less painful is:
In Your Job - Do Something for Yourself!
When you look at your tasks, think to yourself "is there some way I can get a personal benefit from doing this task?". Yes, the salary is already the benefit you get from doing the task, a salary is usually a once a month happiness, it cannot sustain happiness.
I work in IT. For many years I have done an IT blog. I'd argue I was most successful when I was very enthusiastically updating my blog. Sadly, I've not always got to work with products/projects that interest me very much, and I struggle with motivation. But then I realized, even if I don't particularly like what I am doing, maybe I can make a blog post out of the experience or knowledge I have gained, since I like blogging.
Blogging is just an example
Perhaps you can use some of the boredom time to learn new things, to increase your skills, to update your curriculum vitae.
Working for yourself or investing in your own growth while on the job means building skills, mindset, and assets that belong to you rather than just producing output for an employer.
