    Definitely when you should be working you should instead get on boards to ask if you should do something different, such as get off boards. When you get off boards, come back and tell us.

    Tested method which works:

    Masturbate in morning
    Have a cup of Matcha
    Solid ciabatta filled sandwich
    Masturbate again

    Repeat as necessary.

    Go for a walk or run at your lunch break, if possible run or walk before work as well.

    For some reason I read the title as "Tips on improving concentration camps at work"

    Ironically, concentration camps probably would improve concentration in the workplace. Those who aren't focused, run the risk of getting a special shower.

    You probably should sub divide your work into 20-40 minute periods. Before you start any period, remove all impediments to accomplish the task, close email, have some water nearby and do the task.
    Avoid sugar and caffeine if you are having issues with concentration.
    After each task take 10 mins for yourself.
    Repeat, and try to get out lunchtime for some air.
    Remember that the best way to kill time is to work it to death.

    Fold your ATM card in half and insert it into your bum.
