When I really need to code in the zone, I usually find The Prodigy, Scooter, Foo Fighters etc, with the headphones in, get me there.

Pay someone to read the contracts and explain the long words to you.

Find exercises on the internet to increase your mental capacity.

To google is the first milestone.

How do others block out the noise or concentrate?

On a new project where I need to read 5 different legal contracts which contain 5 different payment deductions processes. The complexity I have never seen the like of before.

Unlike coding(where I can put on headphones I cannot do it when reading and trying to understand something)

The office was to noisy so I tried to find a quiet room. All booked. So then I sat in the car for two hours in the car park with the heating on. Once I got fed up with that I went home where I got a few hours done. Now this morning, some inconsiderate in the house next door has decided today is the day he's going to hammer & laugh.

Any suggestions to where I can go or what I can do to be able to concentrate on these for a few days?
