One recommendation is to focus less on tech challenges and more on working in an industry / company / team that is solving problems that are meaningful to you.

There are many worthwhile problems in the world that can benefit from building high quality technology solutions.

It's unavoidable that there are going to be times where the day to day is mundane, but at those times it's great to be reminded that you're still working towards solving a problem that you are passionate about.

Can be easier said than done to find work like that, but maybe a different perspective on how you can find that motivation.
