While I can often come up with ideas pretty quickly, I have trouble keeping myself focussed at tasks that just 'have to be done'. I'm talking for example about doing calculations for which you already know what the result must be or for which you don't expect there will be anything 'cool' about the results. Another example is typing equations in latex.
I have trouble reaching max efficiency performing those tasks that are in principle not that hard; I often find myself analyzing it all too much, finding connections everywhere and than getting easily distracted from the main task (though I must admit plain facebook etc. is another source of distraction).
In general, I seem to perform, relatively speaking, better on a conceptual/intuitive level than on a practical/executive level, decreasing productivity.
Is this a common issue others encounter? And how do you deal with it?
(ofcourse I hope not to sound as another narcistic gen Y kid that thinks he's a genius ;) )
