How to improve concentration?

A little underrated skill because it is impossible to learn anything else without it :)

1. Know yourself. The first few days watch and notice what is usually diverts you to understand what need to fix. In addition, it will be useful to know your biorhythm to understand when you are most active.
2. Silence. When you working on something, you should not be distracted by anything. Try to create the pre-conditions which allow you to work in silence.
3. Planning. As thoroughly as possible. It will be easier to avoid any further thought the process.
4. Motivation. Find the reasons why you have to do it and/or why it could be interesting.
5. Competition. Set some additional tasks, such as to make this work for 10 minutes, etc. Excitement usually boosts interest.
6. Working environment. Mess around not noisy but just the existence of it can be annoying and shoot down concentration.
7. Relaxation. If you feel nervous before or during work, it is better to calm down at first. Another way you can get to the stress in this mod. In general, do not forget to make pauses time to time.
8. Thoughts. Try to get rid of all the thoughts that are not relevant to the current case as much as possible. Pretty simple exercise to practice concentration.

Technically, the concentration is not a big deal. Just find and get rid of all that prevents you complete your current work ^^
