How to raise motivation?

I work as a php-programmer in the studio of my city. I am 18, student. This is my 2nd office job.
As in the previous time, I notice that at this workplace, after 3-5 working months, strong demotivation from work begins, expressed in fairly frequent breaks for reading habr, etc. sites. The current project is not the most interesting, but it also has advantages, therefore, I see the problem only in myself. At the same time, I try not to write code "on ***", although it doesn't turn out so much per day. Sometimes I can sit down on weekends. At work, sometimes I do something that I don’t know, so I study, which is a plus.
As one of the reasons, I see that after school I don’t go home to sleep like everyone else, but I go to work until 21-22. I even thought about leaving for self-study, but as always it doesn’t work out: “a couple more salaries and you can leave,” and so on all the time (I study on a contract, so the question is relevant, although I collected money before the end of the training). Just start buying laptops, computer upgrades and other not particularly necessary expenses. As always, there is not enough money))
And how do you cope?

Rest. Sleep, reading books, walking in the fresh air and no computers around. No Internet (if there is a smart, turn off the nafig). But in the context of learning and working, it will be difficult to implement in a normal way.

I usually do this: I go to the top users of Habr. users , I look for some user there, I'm surprised that he is 18-19 years old, I find his twitter feed, subscribe, and go read / do something interesting. :-)

I don’t see anything wrong with frequent interruptions to read habr if I have become faster than before (and on time) to complete the tasks.

It would seem that he wrote a post with a question, received cool recommendations, just started to implement it, so he immediately did a lot of what was planned.
Thanks to everyone who replied, I'll choose the answers a little later.

Experience is dripping - and excellent. Meanwhile, learn new technologies. Try some NoSQL solutions or functional languages ​​for example. As a web developer, you might be interested in trying out Erlang and Riak for example. Boring because you won't learn anything new.
