Just a thought...
There is the theory that your left and right brain are logger-jammed (sp?) and that you need to keep your right brain occupied while your left brain "just does it" by starting to put anything that comes to mind down and that eventually your left brain will start to come through. I used to have a horrid time, due to ADD, concentrating at my regular job until I discovered this nugget of wisdom and applied it there. I put music on for my right brain to occupy itself with...I also put cartoons up, quotes, photos...all kinds of "eye candy"..things that were within confines I could control so that it wouldn't go off too far afield. It worked for me and has helped when I am stuck for inspiration since.

short of just doing it, i don't know what to say.... i can say i am guilty of accepting the same types of tasks that seem exciting at first, and less rewarding by the end....
maybe just do it. just sit down and push forward. possibly it may jar enough creative thinking and spawn a brilliance that is resting just below the surface....
or, it might not. but its worth a shot...
