@koen Get off the internet and unplug all video games. Music on and go for it.

@koen There's a couple of things that helped me... I made sure my workspace was clean of clutter and visual distractions... Its amazing how much a desk covered in stuff can actually lead your mind off the scent from time to time. Also, you could set specific, achievable targets that you can have a break after. Just a couple of pointers.

@koen Here's what I do to study, and when it's crunch time at work: http://www.focusboosterapp.com/. Close everything except the stuff you need to study. Start the timer. Study for 25 minutes. Do what you want for 5. Repeat. I also tend to use "distraction free" editors like writemonkey for taking notes. They just fill the whole screen with an old-school black and green text editor and block out all distractions so you can take notes from books and the like.
