I pomodoro, like others have mentioned, but I find it works really well with extensive logging. I log that I completed a pomodoro and what I learned or discovered, sometimes cross-referencing other notes. I also sometimes log what I intend to get done during a pomodoro’s worth of work. The end product is the closest thing I’ll have to a lab notebook. The end product is really useful over different time scales: standups, one-on-ones, those annual self-evaluations where you have to try to remember everything you did last year...
