    Create a space designated solely for work. If that space is your desk in a work office, for example, use it only for work ' step away from it when taking breaks or eating.

    Step2Form a strong association between working and your desk to make concentrating easier.

    Step3Remove surrounding distractions. Turn off the ringer on your phone and, if possible, shut down your computer if you will be tempted to surf the Web.

    Step4Assemble all the materials you will need (books, paper, charts). You want to avoid getting up to retrieve materials and distracting yourself.

    Step5Set a specific production goal and give yourself a manageable chunk of time (perhaps 1 to 2 hours) in which to achieve this goal.

    Step6Create pressure by scheduling meetings or other interruptions to force yourself to work more effectively during a shorter period of time.

    Step7Reward yourself after each period of intense concentration with a small break.

    I have this problem also, I think it might be because I don't get enough sleep because I seem to get tired and drift off easily during the day, maybe it's the same with you, hope I helped.

    You must practice. Try focusing your hand for a minute. Try focusing a picture. Try reading a text. Try every day.
