I too get bored when I practice just for the sake of practice. When I have something that needs to be done and programming is part of the solution, then I usually don't find it boring. Some of the easiest study I have done is helping others. I often learned more trying to understand them, what they wanted and needed, and how to help them (best I could) than if I had just worked on my own.
Maybe it is a good time for you to step back and look at the big picture - your interests and aptitudes, what you want to be doing for the next few years and what that requires. Also to try to understand why you become bored or distracted. What makes those unprofitable things so appealing?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
