Could you elaborate? I don't quite understand what you're suggesting.

  You have a calendar. Your 4 hour blocks are scheduled. As committments. And cannot be casually preempted.

    I'm not sure if that would work for @oftenwrong - they said that one of their problems isn't external interruptions as much as the fact that they can't force themselves to focus on a schedule, and that their focus just kind of comes and goes. That's the same with me. Having a block of time where I know I won't be interrupted definitely helps, though - and I've been trying to do that more and more at home.

      I think that's what pomodoro time management techniques aim to address? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique

    What if you can't predict when you're going to be able to focus for 4 consecutive hours?

      That's among the elements worth tracking, as well as factors influencing it. But it's far easier to concentrate for 4 hours when you've blocked the time and aren't going to be interrupted. I'll let you work out the rest yourself.
