Don't try to fight the stuff head on. Recognize when you aren't going to be productive in front of the computer, and walk away. Figure out something else to do, ideally something that gets you in a better mood, or feeling more productive, or helps clean away all the things you're worrying about. Sometimes that means cleaning the house or running some errands. Sometimes it means playing a couple hours of Halo 3 with your friends. Often for me, a trip to the gym will do wonders. After my post-workout shower, I feel like I'm restarting the day.
