Thanks for the suggestions. I do have myself a prescription for extended release Ritalin (Concerta) and I think it does provide me some benefit in low doses. If only I hadn't lost the prescription paper twice.

Volunteering for nightmare projects is also a good idea. I'm coincidentally working on Canvas as I'm writing this, which is a relatively novel and challenging topic. You're right in saying it's the hard stuff that keeps you focussed.
