We all have difficulty concentrating at times. Sometimes it is because what we are doing is boring, tedious or too repetitive - other times it might be because we are tired. Think about when you were really interested in something. Did you have trouble concentrating on that?If your life depending on something, would you manage to concentrate?
So the challenge really is to maintain our focus and concentration when we have to, but don't want to. Think of a time you could concentrate easily. What did you do, and how did you do it? What could you do now that would help you use the techniques you used then?
Here are some more tips to aid concentration:
Set up a routine helps - just as students get into a study routine to help them concentrate and complete their assignments and study.
Some people like to do exercise - either team or individual sports. Make it something you enjoy.
Get enough sleep and take some time out for relaxation.
Consider a personal trainer or joining a gym.
Try yoga, meditation or even a martial arts discipline.
Try reading a book, doing crossword puzzles, sudoku, playing bridge, chess etc.
Enjoy what you are doing - IN THE MOMENT. This helps you to concentrate.

Try to make what you are doing fun.
Enjoy what you are doing - this helps concentration!

Set goals - be committed to what you are doing.

Keep the same routine to get into the habit of concentrating.
