Hi JC45,
I am also having some difficulties to focus and keep my surface thought away. Recently I tried the method of Robert Monroe that he described in his Hemi Sync audio CDs: the energy box. The principle is simple, visualize quickly a heavy box (like the metal box in the old time) open it and put every thought that you have in mind or that could popup during the exercise inside the box and seal it. To seal it I imagine the metal entering in fusion so it can not escape.
I thought this method won't work on me but it actually did the job surprisingly, the thoughts never appear during my exercises. And when I don't use it so many ideas popup.
I hope this will work on you.
