Make a to-do list. Instead of sitting around aimlessly, you'll have a list of goals in front of you, and will feel a sense of pride when you get them done. I created a really simple, daily “to do” list, you can download it HERE.

Prioritize your tasks. Remember to do the most creative or difficult tasks in the morning, when you're full of energy and motivation.

Manage your time. Try to do the most time-consuming things first so you can get them out of the way.

Keep an organized space. Having an organized space will save you countless time when you need to find something, and it will keep you more motivated to get work done.

Plug breaks into your schedule. Taking breaks is just as important as staying on task.

Build up your focus stamina. To build your focus stamina, just give yourself a certain amount of time -- say, 30 minutes -- to do nothing but work on a certain task. When that time passes, see how long you can keep going before actually stopping.

Meditate. Meditating is not only a great way to relax but if you meditate for just 10 to 20 minutes every day, you will slowly improve your focus. I use this app.

Multi-task less. When you multi-task, you may think you're getting more done, but you're not putting all of your focus and energy into any one task, which actually harms your concentration.

Reflect. Before you start working, you should write down all of the things that were and weren't working during your study or work session to make sure to have a better experience.

Have a solid pre-work routine. -Get enough sleep. -Eat a healthy breakfast. -Watch your caffeine intake. -Make time for some quick exercise.

Pick the right time and place. -Remember that everyone's most productive hour is different. -It's important to find the right work environment for yourself.

Avoid distractions online. The Internet may be filled with interesting and valuable information, but when it comes to getting work done, it can be a huge time-suck.
