The real problem here might be that you're not actually interested in your project/work. Given all what you've said, if I was still interested in my work, or found a way to make it interesting I would still go as fast as I can sustain. The environment and speed-bump obstacles can be demotivating if you don't find a way to block them out. Given the 'extra' time that you seem to have let's you solve problems in a round-about interesting way. Even if something starts out as a Rube Goldberg contraption it might lead to something else.
