Switch off your mobile, email and internet connectivity when working on a priority one project or task in order to avoid interruptions and distractions. If you want to actually get things done, just shut down everything and focus on the tasks at hand. "Manage your mobile, don't let it manage you." - Richard Branson
Use the two minute rule. If a task can be completed in 2 minutes or less, then complete it.
Reserve one day per month for “administrative” work where you can organize and delete files, docs, and emails. It's a general catch-up / clean up day.
Take a 10-minute break in the middle of a task. Stand-up, walk around and move your body! This will not only help boost your energy levels and rest your strained eyes, but it will help clear the mind! You'll be a lot more focused when you return to finish the task.
