I second this strongly.

Meditation helps me be less reactive to stimulus and also decreases the occurrence of random thoughts.

Think of the human body as an IO system. Your sensory organs constantly giving you inputs from all directions.

Your mind deciding what the output should be.

When you meditate - I feel like you add a latency to your responses which allows you indirectly to focus better.

Second thing that really helps is a non distracting environment (decreasing potential inputs) - have a space where there isn’t much distractions.

Phones with push notifications id say are one of the biggest sources of distractions - I have most notifications switched off and check different messenger/mail apps periodically as I finish blocks of work - this absolutely helps in terms of focus.
