    Take breaks. This idea that you need to marathon code isn't healthy. Sure there are expensive context switches, but if you aren't actively coding/researching get up and walk around a bit while thinking.

    Play games or do something to get away from code for a while.

    @psudo good points, the marathon stuff isn't fun. I need to be better disciplined with my time

    Start slow and build up. You can set yourself for a 20minute session followed by a 10 minute break. Then, the next day you do 30minute sessions and so on.

    After a few days you'll concentrate easier than before so your 30-40min sessions will look short. Also, try not to overwork more than a hour straight unless you're totally focused. Walk around the office/home, talk to your coworkers or get something from the fridge.

    Concentration is a habit that gets build each step at a time
