Please excuse if this isn't the right type of question to ask here on SO.

For the past few days, I just can't seem to get any quality programming done. I feel in the slumps when doing work and just can't concentrate. I also do happen to be learning a new skill(PHP framework) and I think that is the main reason why I feel I can't do anything.

Are there anything you all do to "recharge" the brain and get back on track?

Possible activites: 1. get away from the PC for a few days
