I have a few things I do to stay focused, some you can control and some you can't: 1. Eat well, sleep well, work out and relax\mediate\etc. <-- this is really important for me 2. Keep simple, simple lists. (Someone on HN actually made one of my favorites recently: http://1-3-5.com/ http://1-3-5.com/) 3. Make sure your list is kept simple. Remove things from it, do not add to it without removing from it. 4. Work on things that inspire you. Rethink what you're working on if you're not inspired by it. ( This is sometimes out of your control ) 5. Wear headphones and do not listen to lyrics. Classical is actually my favorite for getting stuff done. 6. Use a white board to keep track of your ideas and thought process. Notebooks can work, too.
