You either need supportive structure or conducive environment or possibly both.
Supportive Structure means having a plan broken down into a set of goals. You don't say what you are trying to concentrate on, whether it is coursework for a qualification, the task in hand at work, or something less formal. If you can break the task down that helps remove anxiety about which thing to do when.
You may find you need the prospect of reward: a drink or a biscuit or hald an hour on a favourite compter game or piece of music. Also some people like a displacement activity. There used to be a range of office creations for this, like the device with suspended ball bearings where swinging the first sets the others iin motion.
The other issue is Conducive Environment. What's distracting you? It may mean wearing headphones. If it is not in itself distracting playing some quite music over the headphones. Wear a cap or a hood so you are not affected by peripheral distractions. Find a room where the colour of the wall or curtains makes you feel more focussed. Some people feel better in a darkened room with a localised reading lamp, others prefer to study in sunlight or in a room lit by ceiling reflected light.
Make sure you are not responsive to flickering in fluorescent tubes, or outside noises.
Hopefully that may give you some ideas - or if you can give more information, maybe someone can offer more useful suggestions.
