Here is a list of things that you can try on your own that may help you have better concentration:

1. Eliminate distractions - block out time for an activity you need to get done. Consider going to a quiet place like a library if possible.

2. Close apps - close the social media and other apps on your phone and turn off notifications for them.

3. Reduce multitasking - whenever possible, try to commit to one task at a time. Although it may feel more productive to multitask, it can also lead to distraction.

4. Practice mindfulness - add a meditation practice to your day. Having a calmer mind and more breath control can help overcome distractions during the day.

5. Get more sleep - avoid using screens like phones and TVs or exercising close to bedtime. Having a refreshed mind will help with focus.
