A few things that have helped me: 1. Realize that tendency CAN be a powerful tool if you channel it correctly and get yourself into the right environment. I'm in media, because the tools change quickly, each project has different problems to solve, and there's a broad, somewhat disconnected set of skills that are useful. 2. Every job, no matter how passionate you are about it, will have some crap you just have to get through that you don't want to do. Don't confuse temporary boredom with lack of passion. 3. Willpower is a muscle, and you CAN get better at powering through the portion of your work that you don't enjoy. 4. If you master things quickly enough you can move up in your career so that you are doing new things with each new move. 5. It's worth talking to your healthcare provider about these concerns, there are a variety of tools and strategies that can help. 6. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Use your free time to explore widely disparate disciplines. 7. Limit your time aimlessly browsing the internet. It's a great tool, but using it without purpose seems to make it much harder to focus on tasks.
