I have perused threads like this for years. Ive read most popular self help books and watched all the recommended videos. I still havent permanently cracked it, but these two things helped me more than most other things.

1. Use one monitor. Dont have videos or TV on. Dont do non work related things before work.

2. Breaking tasks into manageable chunks so you can experience meaningful progress. Watching yourself complete things spurs you on, but only if you arent dwelling on the overwhelming nature of the task. Focus on the little picture.
