[quote]To answer your questions about how to concentrate more on salat, here is an email I received from a friend some time ago:

Taken from Islam-QA (except a couple):

Ways to increase concentration in Salah

Repeat what the muadhin says
   Making dua between adhan and Iqamah
   Make fresh wudu for Salah 
   Use siwak before Salah 
   Dressing in fine clothes for Salah
   Move through Salah with tranquility
   Pray as if you will die after this Salah
   Think about the verses and dhikr you are reciting

in Salah
   Repeat verses for added contemplation
   Interact with the verses, paradise: ask for it
   Memorize and use new passages of Quran
   Memorize and use new and authentic dhikr in Salah
   Pause at the end of each ayah
   Recite in a beautiful voice
   Realize that Allah responds to your recital
of Al-Fatiha 
   Pray near to a sutrah 
   Maintain eyesight on your prostration location 
   Seek refuge and dry spit thrice if you lose
concentration 
   Remember how the Prophet used to pray and pray like him
   Remember: your reward is proportional to your concentration 
   Make dua in Sujood 
   Recite dhikr after prayer, patiently
   Don't pray with food waiting to be eaten
   Don't pray in a sleepy state. Take a nap and
then pray.
   Don't look around in prayer
   Suppress your yawning during prayer
   Don't stick to the same prayer place in the Masjid
   Focus on each word separately in the Salah

Dhikr
   Arrive early for Salah 
   Pray as soon as the time enters

...

I hope this helps :)
