For me focusing nor staying productive at work has never been an issue in itself. If there ever was a moment without a task to do I would come up with one, and it would make things better!
The biggest issues are related to the little big stuff: sleeping enough, eating well, taking care of health, giving enough rest to your head, living in an area that you like, having variety in the things you enjoy doing, making sure your other muscles get some work to do and not only your brain.
I've been my most unproductive when there has been social stress. Work stress hasn't been too bad, except for the occasional times when there has been simply too many things bombarded to the list of things to be done all at the same time. However that is much more of a management problem than a personal developer productivity problem. Then finally you have to acknowledge the fact not every day will be a good day. Helps to reduce unnecessary stress.
In the future I might consider keeping some sort of a journal to help with more responsibility that is coming my way thanks to someone deciding they add "Senior" to my job title.
I totally agree that self-care is the #1 advice for keeping a high productivity level.
Some of my peers forget to take proper care of their bodies. They often complain of headaches and backaches which both come from stress and body tensions. So, physical activities, proper nutrition, and healthy sleep are a must.
Social stress happens to everyone. For me, self-care activities that you mention in your comment help me not to lose focus and recover faster.
