Use white noise during periods of heavy concentrationI find when studying or researching, intense focus and concentration is needed.All of us humans have an issue with this, unless we’re superhuman.The most ideal way to solve this issue is such:Find a place where you can work uninterrupted.Turn off your phone and ALL distractions.Gather all of your materials needed for the task, whatever it may be.Put them out in an organized fashion where you can get to them quickly and easily.Gather all of your writing utensils and notebooks; anything you need.Set an alarm on your phone for 52 minutes.Go to Youtube.Do a search for white noise.Put a white noise video on play.Turn it up to a comfortable level.Start the 52 minute clock.Get to work.Work for 52 minutes straight.Do not let anything break your concentration or interrupt your focus.Keep working.At the end of 52 minutes, you will potentially be exhausted; mentally and, potentially, physically.Walk away from all of this for 17 minutes.

That doesn't include stuff that other people might end up doing (bad tenants, random accidents).As long as you plan for these things and get good insurance you should be ok through!
