    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.

      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.

          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.

            Try the sugar free one. You don't get the come-down insulin spike that causes the energy dip.

            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: ).
