My brain fights against me and even though I feel fine and everything I'm having the darndest time trying to focus long enough to finish my chapter (I'm hoping to get it done before the movers invade my home and take my couch) are there any tips and tricks to focus, o great and wise peers?

Don't write.

take a nap or whatever.

try not to think about anything related to writing (if possible).

You'll get back to it when you're ready. (If this is not possible due to a deadline, then I suggest adderall or alcohol, never both).

I will take a shower usually, and then I will want to write when I get out.

I remove every distraction (stop gaming, watching, reading manga, etc.) and allot myself time constraints (three to four weeks) to push myself to focus on writing.

After that, I take a break for one to two months so as not to burn out.

Procreate, and then you will have no time to focus on writing.
