For me it's rarely that there's 'nothing to do' after all I do book keeping and human resources, there's always SOMETHING to do. But there's stretches where it's pure drudgery (like now, I just completed 1 week of doing absolutely nothing but grinding data into the computer and reconciling some very large accounts). I give myself lots of breaks from the brain numbing, and leave the work I love the most for the end of the day/week so I'm working towards it and the week gets progressively better rather then putting off the boring work to the end and having the day get progressively more tedious.

In the valleys I try and find projects for myself. I have the liberty of being able to take short term classes on the company dime and even sometimes the company time so when I'm in a long stretch of OMG I'm so bored I'll die, I usually sign up for a seminar or something to get up and out of the office for a few days and kick starts my brain a bit. And usually launches into a project or three too which help keep every week from being the same.
