Jason Alba has an interesting post, Living Life 16 Minutes At A Time, where he describes how he managed more in less time since he for a while had to work in 16 minutes sessions.
I find this really interesting, it is sometimes far too easy to lose focus and do something else. With a limited time available for a certain task you have to stay focused.
Since life is not work alone I prefer a mix. Take three serious sessions doing important things and then reward yourself using every forth session for leisure, whatever you feel like doing.
Another thing to remember, work with your email in sessions too. While doing something else, close down your email (all of them). Email is a major distraction, limit it as much as possible.

We put an alarm clock set for one hour every day and during that hour we only work on things that could potentialy increase our business. With no interruptions.
It’s been working fine
Time Management is real hard unless you have a plan. this seems like a good plan.
A lot of people seem to be obsessed with that little ding from a new email message or worst an Instant Message. If you want to get work done, turn it off. Set a time to check it, take care of the messages and shut it off. It’s good advice.
Hello. have you ever felt your trapped between heaven and earth, trapped on the internet. I do sometime.
