Can not concentrate on work
-
Hi, I really need you help guys. Now i am experiencing something wierd. I just can not concentrate on work. When I come to office early morning. first thing i do is open my mail, news websites, some movie news some blogs and it eats almost one and half hour. then hardly i do few things then again come the lunch time after lunch i feel sleepy then after 3pm i slowly able to concentrate but then three hours are left .. then i repent i uncessarily wasted so much time. I dont feel that enthusiasm of learning and grasping things and be full of information. Have I grown old? or do I need some excercise? I go home in the evening them my thoughts are just into my work there too i change the mood after one and half hour or soo then again in the morning after I come to office i am unable to switch my mood. Guys just dont feel like switching my mood and work. Am I depressed? Please give me some tips . I want to regain that attitude again. thanks, kMeena.
Get an interest outside computing. With moving around over the years I've found that difficult but doing a lot better. Exercise also helps emotionally as well as physically when you get into a rut. Elaine :rose:

You're describing my last five years. Figure out your retirement date and keep your eye on that. In the meantime, just force yourself to write code. It's not fun, but it's what I know.

Wouldn't last long enough. Massive high followed by colossal energy dip. I've never touched the stuff, but thanks to a healthy diet (read: high metabolism) I can quite easily code from when I get in at 3 o'clock, until about 9 o'clock at night with break for a meal OT: 400th post! Not long now until I can help with the article submissions
Try the sugar free one. You don't get the come-down insulin spike that causes the energy dip.

When I get like that I massage some code. Fix case conventions, indentation, order of conditions etc. Even re-grouping related lines with different whitespace i.e. blank lines! Eventually an idea for a meaningful refactoring or revision takes place, and once that happens, I'm in the groove again. It takes some stopping me then.

For me I keep myself on track by doing a few simple things. 1) Exercise. 2) I have a task list for the next working day before I end the current working day. 3) I don't open my email or surf the web until I have done at least one thing on my task list. 4) I read for pleasure. This is escapism at it's best for me. 5) I limit how much TV I watch. I try to consume less than four hours a week. 6) I try to stay away from the caffeine after 2 pm. 7) And this is most important to me....I actively set annual, monthly and, weekly goals.

Thanks Chris, I liked the 3rd one probably it can tune me quickly. I should make it two three work tasks .

You have no discipline. You lack maturity. You're not committed. You don't have any drive. You don't have any determination. You don't have what it takes to productively participate in society. Should I go on?

Is there anything that is bothering you. You may want to take some quit time to reflect as to what might be consuming many of your brain CPU cycles. I get what you described if I am stressed about something. Most of the time, I may have something stuck in my head and subconsciously I can not stop thinking about it. The solution I apply to such situation is that I take 15-30 break, sit down figure out what is in my back of head and make a plan to tackle and write it down. Once I put it in paper, my mind feels at ease.

Yusuf , you judged it right. many times there are so many things in my brain, some personal obstacles too. well thanks guys , i am going to apply myself.

Watch those false sweetners. Your tongue still tags the brain to drop insulin when you taste splenda then you crash more due to the low sugar levels in the blood. Think plain [b]unsweetened[/b] tea, water or just coffee with 1/3 tsp of sugar. Our lives are too crammed with crap on the net, the tube and the stores. We come to work and try to focus on technical details but out neurons are wired to laugh and play. Music helps if it sets the right tempo (puts you in the zone). Stay away from colored foods, dies are attributed to disfuntion since the coal based colors in M&Ms mimic natural foods and mess with thought process. Like good coding practices, good food make you run with less bugs. Fiber Low-Card (emphasis on redined and sugars) Shop only the periphery of the store. Veggies Meats (Lean is better). Other whole foods (no not a whole pizza, unless it's the new high fiber version :rolleyes: ).
