So how do you liven things up? Obviously that depends on the individual (and I'm not a designer as such; more of a coder) but my tactic would be to think of what really does get me excited and actively seek those projects. If I'm not in a position to chase that type of client now - then I consider: what do I need to do to get myself in a position that they will want what I have to offer?

Of course, it's the same for any creative profession, like programming as you say. Well said Vicki. Of course, it’s the same for any creative profession, like programming as you say.
