This sounds a lot like the reason is lack of purpose, being passionate about
what you do.

When you're freelancing, most projects don't mean anything to you other than
cash, so it's understandable that you don't find much motivation for them.

Have you thought about what you're really passionate about and find a company
that you find really awesome and work for them? Maybe tesla, spacex, watsi, or
a new small hot social media app are all very exciting.

Or if you always had that one problem and it really bugged you that there
didn't exist a solution for it, ever thought of making a product out of it?

First of all, if you work alone at home as I do, it is freakishly hard to do
something that you're not madly in love with. And most jobs involve at least
some portion of that, so I try not to be too hard on myself. We are fighting a
world of distractions and no visible restrictions. It's amazing to accomplish
something at all.

Second, finding the right music helps me a lot. I also play a few instruments
which are right next to me and I often pick them up for a minute or two and
play along. I can't imagine not being able to resort to music while working on
boring stuff.

I have had similar challenges when working on side projects or boring tasks at
the day job. It is tough to say if it is just procrastination or something
else.

I think if you have a very creative mind, you may just enjoy the design part
of the process instead of the actual work.
