It is well known what a turn off a boring topic can be. All the inspiration and the enthusiasm immediately sink into the bottomless ocean of uniformity. But, despair not!
Ever heard that there are no stupid questions? Well, there are no boring topics either.
Put yourself in a role of a detective, or in the worst case, a reporter, and ask yourself:
And now - google! Dig! The answers can be quite intriguing. Especially because there is so much trivia, true and untrue, but quite enough to provoke someone's interest and make them read.
If you think the topic you have been tasked to write about is a bit too boring or plain for your taste, you can simply give it a retouch. In other words, recreate it by giving your own remake of the topic!
And you will do this by choosing one of the enlisted ways:
If you happen to be working on the topic of the "kitchen utensils", just wait for google solutions and users' questions to open your way up for you.
There are variety of questions you would have never thought of! For example:

Instead, limit yourself to the more specific search for better and more particular results.
For example, if your topic is: Claustrophobia, you might put down
and by doing so, you are automatically choosing your audience, making the material more approachable, easy to come find, and certainly more interesting.
As mentioned on one very interesting web page - How To Write When You're Really Tired, when you don't feel like writing a word and when you really don't have a spare atom to put into the work, one of the ways is to make yourself do it by "bullying yourself into doing it".
In some cases, it does end up being productive and turns out to be a worthy step to push yourself from the phase of idleness into a very productive hour or two of creation.
Alas, in some other cases, people tend to develop an inner resentment against your work that can actually lead you to be even more unproductive later on.
You can take a risk, and it can actually work out for you, but beware of the consequences.
