Cant stay focused at work?

I cant stay focused and tend to daydream when im doing something at work and make stupid mistakes. im not depressed and theres nothing pressing on my mind every day. Any suggestions to what might be causing this?

Answer:
My first guess would be your job is monotonous and you need a change. Boredom will allow your mind to wander off where even simple tasks can get messed up just because you are not paying attention.
Time to look for a change in job position, another way to do your current job or maybe take on additional, varied duties.
ADD or ADHD is really over diagnosis but that is not to make light of the illness. You are not listing any other complaints so I don't believe that this is your problem.
Wow - I'm not alone! Thank you!

For me, it's boredom.

You mave have ADD or ADHD. Go to the doc to get some meds and that should help.
Some times were depressed and we don't know, it's kind of a despondent thing that creeps up on us, nothing seems to be going really wrong that we know of. I find this is true with bi-polar problems, could be you just need a day to relax, unwind without a lot of distractions.
Maybe...
Attention deficit disorder: did you have any experience like that when you were a child in school?
or
Lack of sleep from frequent nighttime awakening? Do you snore?
or
Boredom with your job (I think this is the most likely reason). It may be time to move on and work at a job that is more intellectually stimulating for you.
maybe you just need a break sometimes? when you start to drift off go get a drink or generally take a break, some times you take in so much and just need to give yourself a break to soak it in lol...
I don't mean always be on a break lol, but once every 2-3 hours might help.
Look for new responsibilities within current position or higher...or start looking for new work.
Your depression is from chemicals made days earlier when expectations for sex and love were in error. Don't know how to help you solve that.
