Simplest one I know is a meditation where you count your breaths, starting over again if you lose focus. Do this for about 5 minutes each day until you are adept at it, then increase to 10 minutes. You can do this while seated, and I use a timer too.
Usually I get to about 10 breaths before I lose focus and restart the count. As always, a quiet area is helpful, and I do close my eyes. Good luck . . .

Dark room, no music or any distractions of any kind and just concentrate on your breathing. Inhale to the max in 3 sec. exhale for 6 to 8 seconds.

Here are a couple of techniques that I use:
Breathing meditation - 1) Check posture. 2) Close your eyes and relax. 3) Focus on your breath entering and leaving your body. 4) Count breaths mentally one to four. Repeat. 5) Don’t fight a wandering mind, but calmly direct it back to task. 6) Sit for a minute afterwards.
