you need to reward yourself, it is part of our makeup to need the pleasure part of the brain to fire after work and to activate the reward pathways (like dopamine being released post-exercise). If you aren't firing it is because you aren't interested in the work or the payoff. I motivate myself to do the mundane tasks by using some sort of reward. I do it with cigarettes, you should probably pick something else.
