It makes it hard to start things knowing it's likely to end in boredom or burnout. I find it helps try to focus on the good things in life, and appreciate that life is a series of menial tasks but joy can still be found around and within despite the seeming monotony.
I sometimes will remind myself that even on my worst days, the life I live is charmed in ways I don't always realize. I saw a note in someone's house once that said, "Remember when you wanted what you now have."
