I keep lists. Many different list of all sorts of things that need doing. Stuff to do in a text file, tabs in Firefox, post it notes scattered over my desk, lists in my head... So whenever I get bored with what I'm doing, I wander through them all and find something more interesting. It works reasonably well for most stuff, but I have some hang ups: 1) I'm a relatively fresh-out-of-college programmer, so my job at work is pretty narrowly defined. I pretty much only ever have one task, so it's hard to find diverse things at work to flit to and from as interest dictate. This gets me pretty burnt out on 'programming stuff', which translates to (nearly) always skipping all the cool hacking stuff I have written down in my various notes/lists when I get home. I've yet to find a way around this... :( 2) Some things on my lists get put off a long time. Like I wanted to research some topic that caught my interest after reading an article about it, but figuring out where to start was rather difficult, so I put off starting for about a year.
