Maybe it's because of diet, or maybe it's a bad habit that's grown on me, but I've had a really hard time concentrating at work lately. It's not that I dislike my job -- actually, it's quite the opposite. I'm a real word geek, so I especially love my proofreading duties. But lately, I have not been able to concentrate on anything at work, even proofreading.

I do drink enough water, eat breakfast, and get an okay (if not optimal) amount of sleep. My desk and computer are both organized and comfortable. I am a little bit stressed to be on deadline with so much fact-checking to do, but it's not overwhelming.

Can anybody brainstorm with me to either pinpoint the cause of the problem, or try out some solutions?
