Great question — staying focused for long sessions is a real challenge for many players.

For me, I’ve found that playing with low-volume instrumental music helps — something calm, like jazz, lo-fi, or classical. It blocks out distractions but doesn’t pull my mind away like songs with lyrics can. Silence can work too, but sometimes it makes me overthink or get lost in my thoughts, especially during long online sessions.

Your experience of being sharp for 2 hours and then drifting mentally is super common. One thing that really helps is to build in short breaks — even just 2–3 minutes to stand up, stretch, or walk around every hour. Also, don’t play when you’re mentally drained or emotionally distracted. If I notice I’m not present, I take a break — even in the middle of a session — rather than push through and make bad decisions.

Lastly, I keep a notepad near me and if a personal thought pops up, I write it down quickly and "park it" for later. That way it’s acknowledged, but I don’t let it hijack my focus mid-game.
