Incredible, your post and the one you responded to describe perfectly how I feel. I also noticed a new environment gives me an overall boost of motivation. Changing jobs makes me super exited the first few months but after that the enthousiasm start to die off.

A result of all this is that now after 5 years of being web developer I'm already bored of the job because the small mundane tasks outnumber the challenging projects by a lot. Already switched of employer twice... Looking to do freelance work now hoping the constant switching helps keeping my motivation up.

Fellas, do it in a way no one else has. Or use it for something no one else has.

Even things done a million times can be turned on their head.

Have you considered changing languages? 5 years in one stack can make things too easy in a way.
I have the same thing... we should start a support group.
So do I. I'd gladly join the group.
