[...] Nothing feels worse than ending a day feeling that, while you have worked a lot, you haven’t really done anything. To avoid this, it helps to structure your day. Don’t answer e-mail when it arrives – set aside dedicated times (e.g. in the morning, after lunch, at the end of the day) to get back to people. Ignore your Inbox for the rest of the day. If you need to really focus on something, shut down your internet connection entirely (for hardcore addicts like me, there’s a great little program called Freedom that does a nice job keeping you offline). And if you feel stuck, re-energize yourself by changing places. Creative work rarely happens looking at a computer screen.

Thanks for sharing your habits, Nico! I especially like the idea of Friday afternoon reading.

One thing I tried to do over the past few weeks are No-Interruption-Hours: I force myself to stay away from mail, phone, facebook, twitter and so on from 10am-12pm and 2pm-4/5pm. It worked out pretty well – As you can imagine, this hours are the most productive and I get the most important stuff done.
