The technique that has helped me the most is simply acknowledging that I am not able to be computer-work productive every waking hour. So when I notice my focus starting to drift, I consciously make a decision: Am I going to refocus and continue working? or Am I going to do something else? I dont feel guilty about doing something else, as long as that something else is also productive, ie work in another domain. As I have practiced this approach, I am able to identify the loss of focus more quickly and because I do not feel guilty about shifting my productivity to another domain, my overall productivity has gone up.
