Living in the zone

Hardest factor that keeps me away from the "zone" is: the task-at-hand being uninteresting and grungy, which is typically the case at regular jobs. Any tips on how folks overcome this factor? Other than to go built my own startup.

With anything uninteresting, try and come up with a solution that challenges yourself to think. Say, instead of using that plugin you frequently rely on, come up with a solution of your own (of course, keeping time constraints in mind.)

Give yourself a hard deadline. Its the only way I can get myself into the 'zone' for some of the less interesting pieces of uni coursework.
