I think it's a case of most people have a finite amount of really productive time in them per day and once it's exhausted trying to squeeze more out is counter productive. What do you fill the rest of the time with? If you accept you have a finite limit of really good productive time per day in you, it becomes easy, focus on supporting that and making sure you achieve what you can during that productive time then slack off for the rest of the day.

Most creative people have about 2 hours of effective time per day. The rest is thinking/noodling/playing/recovering/… time.
