Some things that have been extremely useful for me:
Play video games that require intense focus for prolonged durations to perform well like Starcraft 2, CSGO, DOTA 2 helped me build mental endurance.
Reduce social media. I’ve found that this was the most productive. Social media was fragmenting my attention by making me anxious and addicted. After I reduced Reddit and Facebook usage, my mental discipline increased drastically.
Keep a journal. I’ve found verbalizing my thoughts in a simple and concise manner is hard and requires a lot of focused thinking.
Aerobic exercise helps; more circulation for your brain means it can work better
I’ve been dealing with the same problem too so I’ve been finding ways to engage myself.
