    I have found a couple things help me pretty reliably. Listen to something calming and repetitive like white noise or rain sounds. Then have a mundane thing to think about and focus on. I will visualize starting with a cube of wood and slowly cutting the edges and corners of to make a sphere. Or imagine I am cleaning a flow with methodic sweeping and mopping.

      I play Solitaire on my phone with the screen really dim.

      I suspect it works because it’s just engaging enough to start, and then the mindless repitition sets in and slows things down.
