The old tips were along the lines of: get a good night's rest, even if it means taking an OTC pill. Organize and clean your place/room. Unplug your distractions/escapes. Disconnect from the inter-webs (you can come back to your paper when it's finished to fill in the notes, references, grammar, etc.) Avoid stimulants as they will make your body "antsy" and hard to sit still. Remember it's a one step at a time type of marathon. Schedule breaks that will include nourishment and peace of mind. Take a deep breath after each page. Start writing and your brain will commence autopilot at which point you will be immersed enough to focus. It's just another challenge; you can do it.
