Hi Justin, I was the poster boy for this issue.

Maybe you can find some value in my experience with your new task.

-Go buy a cheap cooking timer-

-Select the task you are going to work on-

-Train the people in your life not to interrupt you at all when you are working.

-Turn off your cell phone including all other distractions, including email, Facebook whatever.

-If you get interrupted even for a minute it takes the human brain about 20 minutes to get back to where you where before the interruption

-you want CLEAN focus, work for 1-2 hours minimum without interruptions, when the timer goes off get up and take a breather completely detach from the task to refresh the mind. Example, play a musical instrument, dance with your girlfriend. Justin, whatever you do take this time to re-clear and reset your mind. This will set it up the the next focusing block and repeat.

-Putting head phones in your ears with calming music really helps relax the brain waves and focus.

-There you have a few basic tools that you can use.

Justin, let me know how this works for you, if you choose to try it out. Remember long blocks of uninterrupted work time, detach completely, reset yourself and repeat.

All the best
