What helps me is doing small prep steps. E.g. doing a rough structure and hen it feeds my brain in the background, helps when the burst comes :) It's not that much the deadlines for me though, really just need to have good days where I suddenly lock in. Also helpful: boring "entertainment". Stops me from browsing twitter, boring enough to peel myself away from very easily again. E.g. twitch streams or sitting outside.
