Coffee. Lots of coffee.

Also, “fiddle toys”, which I guess you already are doing with your knitting. Something for your hands to do.

Try getting a snack and something to drink before you sit down so you won’t be tempted to go make popcorn or something. And don’t do anything else, like your laundry, around that time. And maybe wear headphones if that is an option, to block out external noises. I always find that helps me to focus better. I also tend to rock back and forth when I try to concentrate, or tap fingers, wiggle toes etc.

I actually can’t do things like knit or doodle or anything to keep my hands busy when I’m trying to listen. I end up focusing on the activity instead of what is being said.
