I agree with you, that the delays are a pain. Recently, though, I've stop listening to most of the "productivity advice" and warnings about multitasking, splitting your time into chunks, and the myriad of other approaches. The best bit of advice I have heard is just to get on with it, work hard, and stop procrastinating about it. Too much meta is not good.
