One of the things that helps me concentrate is listening to high-quality music on YouTube. I discovered this method last month when I was struggling with studying. It helps me get in the right mood, relax, and alleviate my anxiety and negative emotions. I simply use my headphones, play the music, and immerse myself in the mood to focus. This has become my go-to method for concentration, and I believe it's the most effective one for me. I also suspect that I have ADHD, which can sometimes make it challenging for me to concentrate.
