Most of the time we are involved in day-to-day operations or long-term / short term projects at the workplace. Projects keep us going and having multiple projects can be a good thing, given that you're not rolling in too many at the same time. But what about the non-wow projects? aka. things that need to get done but don't have that wow factor which pushes/excites you to pursue them.
All of us will face non-wow projects in some aspect of our life. More importantly, all of us SHOULD face such projects because they teache us something wow-project don't, the truth behind what motivates us. The truly motivated will bite the bullet and work on such projects, if not have fun doing them and the unmotivated will hate every moment of it.
Motivation is a complicated beast, and you might hate getting a non-wow project, but next time you get one, take it as an opportunity to discover your motivation factor; perhaps you'll find something wow there itself.
