Hello Matt,
    My dear I have 20 years on you and I have to think that you are 
suffering "burn out" or lack of enthusiasm.  My coding endurance is 
undiminished if I am working on something interesting. Working on boring 

stuff, I have found that head phones (to block out conversations in the  

next cubicle) connected to Rossini or Mozart or Dvorak works like aroma  

therapy for me.  My mood is elevated and I plow right through boring 
code 
and do it well.  You may want to experiment with the music; not all of 
it 
works. Bach is too frenetic for coding, Verdi's requiem makes me forget 
to 
code.  If you haven't tried Rossini, try some of his overtures.  They 
are 
great.  They start slow and end in a whirlwind. Do you know the music 
played on The Lone Ranger?  That's his William Tell overture. The 
classical music or opera works for me.  Your taste is probably 
different.  
Experiment. Best of Luck to you.  

Or maybe you need a vacation.

Barbara
