You also have to keep in mind where the 15 minutes is taking you. Is there something exciting that it will allow you to do, in time?

pastorbob really hit on a key point here. When you keep your eye on the prize so to speak, that is a big factor in motivation. If you keep your goal in mind...getting better technically, that should keep you motivated.
If you track your speed with a metronome you will have small gains in speed that are evidence of your progress. That should also help.
And last but not least, boring is merely your interpretation. How motivated can you be when you go into a practice session with the mindset "BORING"?
What if you go into your practice session wondering, what can I discover today? What can I learn from this time spent with the guitar?
You can focus on subtle things like tone production, dynamics, how you hold the pick, etc...
You can sit down to practice and drudge through 15 minutes of mindless repetition or you can practice with intention. Try it and see the difference for yourself.
