There can be many, many underlying issues. But "I just need more ability to focus" is a common diagnosis, and I think it's usually wrong.

Sure. Also, occasionally one does need a little prod, or fall into bad habits. But if it happens all the time, I know I need to think harder about what I'm doing.
