I find that if I'm struggling to concentrate, putting some classical music on quietly in the background can help. It's relaxing without being distracting and if you choose purely instrumental stuff you won't be tempted to sing along. Also, try not to think about how much you have to read, I know it's hard but when you start panicking about work it gets harder to be rational about it.
I always get myself into a state when assessment time comes upon me, and because I spend most of my time worrying about the workload, I find it too daunting to ever start. Take it slowly and don't get angry at yourself. xxx
