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.
