Procrastinate.
  That's my #1 key to focus.
  If you have a good "oh crap I'd better get this done NOW!"
  sense, then get all the other stuff done. Cut your toenails.
  Brush your hair. Clean out a garbage can. Stare into the mirror.

  Don't distract yourself too much, but let yourself get bored of
  procrastinating. [and don't do the highly addictive stuff like
  Internet / TV / music - stuff that can take you away for hours
  and hours - they're a Time Suck]

  Just little things.

  Then suddenly, you'll be like. "Ok. I guess I'll do it now."

  And it won't be so boring.
