tips needed; dealing with mental block while coding

Hi all,

   I've only been coding for three years, so I am far from an expert. In 
that time though I've found a definite pattern and I am wondering how 
common it is.

   No matter how eager I am on a project, I run into these "blocks" 
where I lose all motivation. I try to push myself to code but 
inevitably, and often quickly, I just end up doing something else. I 
chide myself, try to get back at it, then drift off again. After a few 
days usually I am back into the swing of things and I can code morning 
to night without stopping.

   So first; how much does this happen to others here?

   Second; when it does, has anyone found a way to get themselves back 
on track?

   Thanks for any tips... Now I'll go back to trying to work again :)

Madi
