Elaine,
I've found that the times when I have the most trouble concentrating at work are ironically when work is at a slow point and very stress-free. When I don't have a lot of tasks piled up to do, I end up taking my time & therefore having trouble concentrating on anything because nothing is an emergency. Some ways that I try to counteract this is to try to behave the same way that I would if there was a lot of work - create "To Do" lists, establish deadlines and try to meet them, etc. When there really isn't much to do, I pad my "To do" lists with things that I've been wanting to do & just haven't had time.
