MBA Asso Getting Bored in Banking

I’m an mba associate in banking for 2 yrs. The first year was fine - I didn’t know much and felt like I was learning a lot everyday.

Now I’ve mastered modeling, slides, execution, etc. and are getting very bored at work. Especially when it comes with running processes. I’m a very organized person and keeping track of projects / sending hundreds of email everyday is so easy for me. But I don’t use my brain at all for these kind of tasks - what skillsets I’m getting out of these execution processes?

Besides the bonus day, the only day I got excited, everyday was just so boring. What should I do to keep myself motivated?
