I know for myself that dull assignments which don't require much though are very difficult for me to complete will with good attention to detail. I have seen this with other people who are "gifted." I'm one of those people who hated being a kid and loves being a grown up, because, although every job has "some" dull parts that are difficult, I can decide for myself if the dull parts are worth the good parts! Reminding myself of the "pluses" and "minuses" has been a big help, sometimes writing it down helps the most. If you want to write down your plus and minus list here, I'd love to read it. Here is mine, for today:
(Plus) the money, 1 hour lunch with unlimited internet access, total thrill from daily helping people in great need, fabulous stories - getting to know and love people who I would never get a chance to hang with otherwise, audio books in the car.
(Minus) Long drive, could make more money elsewhere, fear I'll miss the money I didn't earn later, come home too tired, too much dull paperwork, not enough time to hand with friends and family.
I liked reading Gifted Survival Guide because it taught me about Advocacy, have you read it lately?
