Part of growing up is to learn mental discipline. Some are better at it than others but discipline is something you must practice. Practice and more practice makes a difference. At the beginning it will be difficult but you simply MAKE yourself get back to the task at hand. Taking a break (a short break) every 30 minutes in the beginning may help; that helps me anyway. Here is a site that may offer some other suggestions to get started.

one way you can do this is to reward yourself. Put a list of the things you need to get done on your mirror. Use a marker when it is done. You get to stare at that list several times a day.
