Boredom sounds like a bad thing, but what it really means is that you’ve turned the steps required to move toward your goal into habits. It’s all routine. Daniel DiPiazza at Entrepreneur suggests you shift your perspective a little:

A train starts its journey with a lurch forward as the wheels begin to turn and it’s exciting. Over time, the repetitive motion of the train loses its appeal, but that doesn’t mean it’s not heading where it needs to go. In a way, it’s good to be bored with your goal. Just be sure you recognise what it really means, and don’t stop because of it.
