I am one of those folks who struggle mightily with concentrating on the task at hand.  One bit of advice that I am reminded of is the importance of having goals and a plan to meet them.

Have a Plan. It pays to plan what I am intending to do before I do it.  I need to decide what I want to do with the next 10 minutes or hour or day.  Without a goal, it is too easy for my mind to be bouncing around.  Working with a purpose prevents all those nagging thoughts and time wasting activities from killing my productivity.

So next time I sit down, I’ll remember to define what I want to do and put my mind to it.
