This is a good question because I battle with this sometimes too.

I had a quick look for blogs because I'm also interested - I lack focus sometimes and I could do with some strategies.

I found this good blog here on PsychCentral. Whilst it is written with ADHD in mind, none the less - I think that there are some strategies that are worth while me noting. I hope that you might be able to find something of personal interest / value to your personal situation too.

Here's the link

Eating better helps; fruits and vegetables, fish, whole grains, etc. A good breakfast. Too much coffee can make anxiety worse.

...What Ancient says....

I also find that exercise, getting high quality sleep, and, generally anything that helps depression or keeping me from being stressed help a lot.

Also, just plain steady practice focusing and learning things really makes a difference.

I have heard others swear by "brain training" software, but I haven't tried that myself.
