Being employed for several years, having same old routines/task everyday makes your job becomes mundane for you.
Admittedly, I sometimes experience this at work. There are days when work becomes dull and not just enjoyable. However I tried to avoid this negative feeling towards work. So I've listed ways to eliminate this.
Here's what's on my list:
1. Reason why you work.
Ask yourself, what is your main purpose why your working?
Is it just to say you have a good and regular work? or is it just to make a living? or you work for your loved ones who depends on you? or you really love your work and it's the fullfillment of your dreams? Dwell on whats your real purpose on working, from there you may get an inspiration.
If you were to ask me, Why do I work? at first its for my self-worth (when I was single) to be able to achieve something and its the fullfillment of my dreams (coz I was practicing my degree). It's more of having a work that is related to my course. It is what I've dreamed during school days and practically speaking its a source of income to provide for myself.
Now that I have a family of my own, working brings deeper meaning to me, of course to provide for my loved ones (especially for my children) who depends on us (me and my hubby), second self-worth as a woman and to practice my degree and not just to depend on my husband.

Everyday, Its my striving reason why I need to wake up early morning to continually work. Coz there's someone who depends on me. That I cannot stop working. Because Its like a domino effect. Everything and everyone who depends on me will be affected.
And I'm doing it because I love them and I love my work.
2. Love your work.
If you don't love your work, it will become just a daily routine for you or just a must do thing for you. Your work is the source of your income. There are many people who are jobless nowadays. You are too lucky to be employed.
So make it worth and learn its value. If you will love your work, the work will love you as well.
"Love what you do, and do what you love"
3. Make your work enjoyable.
Organize everything that you do, "Think out of the box", find ways to improve what you do. You don't need to be stocked up in your daily routine with the same old procedure. If you can find ways to improve your work habits you'll finish your work earlier.
And make everyday a learning day. So that every morning you'll look after what you will learn on the next day.
4. Strive for Challenges.
Never limit yourself with just what work is been given to you. Accept chalenging task that will thrill your brain and will make your nerves energetic. This will bring excitement while doing your task. And you'll soon lessen the boredom at work.
5. Think your job as an accomplishment.
Think in the other positive sides. Every task you finished is an accomplishment. So be proud and look at it everyday to boost your determination in accomplishing something.
6. Associate yourself with people of positive personalities and attitude towards work.
Be friends or mingle with co-workers that has positive values towards work. Who are hardworking, energetic, and has the perseverance at work and people that are trustworthy. Having them around will help you to enjoy your work everyday and they will inspire and help you to have a good attitude and outlook towards every job/task. Aiming and setting the same goal at work will help you together to strive to work harder. Never surround your self with co-workers that are lazy, irresponsible and undetermined.They will just bring you negative vibes.
7. Reward yourself.

After the long work, have a day off and make a day for yourself, or go to places you want to go, or buy things that you've been wanting. Reward yourself even with the smallest thing. Enjoy the fruit of your work and hard earned money. It will give you reason as well to work harder to get and achieve something. And Its also a way to refresh and recharge yourself after the long weekdays of work. So that it will give you enough energy for the week ahead.
8. Make a bucket list of your dreams, what you want and aspire in life and at work.
