Write the steps down. Focus on single steps. Reward yourself in proportion to the size of the task, don't do one little thing then go on a netflix binge.
Yes distractions are always going to be there. Sadly, and I really mean sadly, the open office concept won, and even people my age (millennials and younger) are starting to become indoctrinated with the concept. In any case that's another story for another day -- focus on what you can control. Caffeine doesn't impair your concentration, but overuse can, and it isn't a replacement for sleep. Information bombardment is a problem, stop it! Is it helping you achieve your goals? Set it aside for another time, or use it as a reward. Coworkers interrupting? Place headphones on. That doesn't work? Drag a whiteboard over to block off your desk from the main traffic. If you are getting work done and knocking things out, people don't have a problem with someone focusing on getting things done. It's only when you are unproductive, do the petty things start coming in "Oh well, Jimbob is just not a good team player, he isn't making himself available enough" etc... don't focus on what you can't control and what people will say, only focus on what you can do and control, and the rest will work itself out, I promise.
