I guess the best thing to do is get a good sleep & try again the next day.

If I get this situation for me the best option is to try to sit for 25 min for deep study ( at that time due to a very busy day alot of distraction will be) but this will make me focus and prioritise to me what is important than I can sit 3-4 to study too with no problem as now I will be focused.

After a busy day, I take a 20 minute nap but before I take the nap I write down the thing I want to focus on when I wake up. This way when I wake up I’m prepared to take action. This helps me focus after a long day

I try to think of it as adding more value to a busy day. If I am feeling like skipping a task I try to push myself and talk myself into how another ten minutes will make an overall difference

Take Deep breaths for 5 mins….. Take a short nap 25 mins, your mind will be rested

I’ll understand that i’m exhausted, usually it’s because I need sleep. Sometimes I (if I can) sleep. Sometimes I try to power through… the later almost never works

I allow myself some time by doing some activity that does not require a lot of mental heavy lifting. I then ease myself into focusing by doing a number of deliberate acts. I set up my work station, I turn off my phone and I grab a cup of tea. This routine helps to get me in the right frame of mind for focused work.

I used the search terms 'focus', 'binaural' and 'music' to readjust my focus. Usually it just fades into the background and I am back on track!

Take a break! Nothing is written in stone. Get some tea!

If you are having trouble focusing for deep work, try taking a few minutes for meditation to see if you can slow down a bit. Also, forgive yourself if it doesn’t happen!
