What are some therapies, drugs, techniques to increase concentration at work?

[Phokus]

I have a fairly demanding job and sometimes it's hard to concentrate with so many things happening at once. I dunno, maybe i have adult ADD or something. I need something to help me out.

Coming from a guy with your name.. Try caffeine, red bull, maybe some medication if you are already drinking caffeine in the morning. More sleep, a nice breakfast, these should help as well.

Try modafinil, or if you have too much cash lying around, armodafinil. Perhaps there are now illegal generics of the latter that can be purchased online for a reasonable price, but as far as I remember the differences are only in efficacy, so just double dose on modafinil for the equivalent effect.

I'd suggest you hold off on methylphenidate and amphetamine until you've exhausted more modest alternatives, particularly if this is just standard fatigue rather than a neurological disorder.

More caffeine as some suggested is markedly stupid idea.

Ritalin ftw. I have always had add problems and have an extremely demanding (attention-wise) and often intense job, and its very helpful. Talk to your doctor about it.

the threat of unemployment and subsequent starvation usually works pretty well for me.
