I have trouble concentrating at work to the point where I barely complete any code. I Can never flow unless I'm working on a project at home. Music can help but the network is often too spotty for songs to load consistently. I'm easily distracted by the internet and conversations with co-workers. I'm not allowed to work overtime, and get 8 hours of sleep - so being tired is not an issue. Am I burnt out? or just extremely apathethic?
- atentaten 8y agoI too sometimes experience this inability to get stuff done at work because of distractions. I realized that there's a lot of anxiety that I'm experiencing when in this mode (probably from knowing that I'm not doing work because of distractions). When this happens, I try to get away from my work area for a few minutes and relax by closing my eyes and breathing slowly. I then feel much better. The key is to remain aware of when you are being distracted and/or feeling anxious. Once I've placed my attention on myself and say to myself, "I am being distracted now", I start to feel more focused.
