Try focusing on the sound vibration of the mantra when you chant:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare
Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
In the beginning one should listen very attentively, do not think of anything else, meditate on the sound of the holy name.
You can also try to play a mp3 with Prabhupada chanting japa in the background while you chant, if you mind diverts focus on Prabhupadas voice for a while and then continue.
