I was unable to concentrate recently due to my house renovation: the noise of drills, hammers and foot step made studying almost impossible for me

What kills my concentration?

-Loud noises: they give me headaches
-Notifications: they appear on the screen and so they take my attention away from what I'm studying
-People: when they constantly come in the place where I'm studying, this make me feel really under pressure and restless
-Music: when I listen to songs with words I get distracted my singing the lyrics

When is my concentration at best?

My concentration, as for the study, is at the best immediately after lunch or dinner, just before going to sleep probably because these are the moments in which I relax the most. As for my afternoon activities, I hardly ever have problems concentrating, because they are part of my routine. Another thing that helps me to concentrate is also good music.

When is my concentration low?

My concentration is at its lowest during periods of high stress due to achievement of goals or personal situations, or when I physically ill. Also when the environmental conditions around me are really bad, such as loud traffic noises, unpleasant music to a volume too high, or even just my head is travelling with imagination.
