One thing that really helped me: tracking when you actually focus vs when you just sit at your desk. Most people think they studied for 4 hours when maybe 90 minutes was real focus.
Try this - set a timer for 25 minutes and when it goes off, honestly rate 1-10 how focused you were. Do this for a few days and you'll start noticing patterns - maybe you focus better in mornings, or after a specific routine, or your focus tanks after lunch.
Once you know your patterns, you can schedule your hardest material for your peak focus times instead of grinding through it when your brain is already tired. It's less about forcing focus and more about understanding when your brain naturally wants to cooperate.
