I think this is probably why YC looks for co-founders. Personally I handle boredom by doing something else. This works incredibly well for programming and incredibly badly for interacting with the government. To be more specific, if something is boring, I won't do it, so if you're the government, and I haven't been paying my parking tickets, your only option is to make paying my parking tickets more interesting. In practice this has meant stealing my car. It's actually very unwise to create incentives for the government to make your life more interesting. The only leverage they have there is various forms of bullying. I now motivate myself with fear as well as curiousity, but unfortunately, curiousity remains much more effective.
