One of the best antidotes for workplace distractions is working on meaningful work. So go ask your boss for a new assignment that really resonates for you.
Special Secret: To maximize the chances of getting a project that really 'works' for you, tell your boss the point of your request and ask him/her to give you some options to choose from. Keep asking "What else you got?!" until you recognize a winner. If nothing strikes your fancy, recommend some *other* things you could to do and how they'd further the boss' stated goals/objectives/priorities for the year. No doubt you'll be able to agree on something that captures your interest for a period of time.
Then dig in and enjoy!
