Key 1: Clarity
"Have vision. Determine what you want to be,do or have in life. Have a sense of direction and know where you're going. If you do not have clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."

This way it is better for u to concentrate. Lastly, you should always take breaks and remember that practice makes perfect.
