Full control of: mind is not possible but better focus is. Find a REASONABLY quiet place to study. Think of the ambient sounds as in the background and let them take you deeper into your work rather than being annoyed by them. Get lost in the material you study the way one can in a book, movie, or sunset. Peace and good health.

Concentration: If significantly changed from your baseline, one might consider thorough medical evaluation. If any new illness, medications, or supplements, follow the timeline to see if they may be related. Many find focus confounded by distractions (screens elevate or spike dopamine and create an artificial set point of stimulation that is hard to duplicate), anxiety, poor sleep, stress and social isolation
