How do you all get through boring tasks?

I like my job and for the most part I’m very productive, but I have one task. I have to do every day that boards made a tears. I keep stopping and looking at my phone or doing other things cause I just don’t wanna do it.

I set a timer for 20 minutes. Usually once I get going I’m fine. It’s the get going part that is hard.

we use AI to handle repetitive tasks, especially anything with data or pattern recognition. Huge productivity boost.

Some people time themselves and see if they can beat their times. Like you just use a regular stopwatch to track how quickly you can get through it. But in all honesty, work can be boring. That’s why they have to pay you to do it! 😂😂

Depends what it is, but sometimes music, gamify it, pretend I’ve got my own cooking channel (lol, if I’m cooking). I think the thing is best to figure out what ignites you and to reverse engineer it into boring stuff. Is there anything you specifically need help with?

I do quality assurance in an office. So I basically check the work of each department. This one department is data entry and I have to make sure it’s done correctly and it bores me!

No, I have to do it. It is tedious.

@ember Definitely use music that you can focus well with, to get through it. Use wireless earbuds. If anyone complains, tell them you have to have the music to get through this task (( or they can do it themselves!! lol )).
