The technique I personally use, as a full-stack developer, is if I can get features planned out into weekly chunks, segment days to backend vs frontend work, and move forward. Monday is backend, Tuesday is frontend integration, Wednesday is front-end adjustments, Thursday and Friday are refactoring and further integration days. Also I batch my issues, so if I'm planning to work on something that day, I'll look for other issues that may be in the same code area. Then I'll work on all of them throughout the day, as I can with primary focus on the issue I started with. Refactoring happens any time you look at the code if you can see a need.
