I have a really hard time doing monotonous tasks. I find that if I combine the monotonous task with something I find interesting to obsess on simultaneously, I do much better. I work at home for my husband and it is dull stuff. Between accounts, I am now coming here to read and keep me going. It always has to be something or I just can't get started. I am really bad about keeping a routine. I have to force myself to get up, shower, dress, housework etc. Loud music helps with housework but I still struggle with most things.
