I’m in my late twenties. What I found was to establish a routine around the times where I find I’m most productive. So I’m not a night owl and can’t code into the evenings like you. I prefer to get up early and plow through stuff in the morning. What has helped was figure what I absolutely need to do in the morning to get myself in work mode, just do that, and leave the optional BS out the window. So that means on most days I’m working, I wake up, grab a snack, head to gym, show, then head to a coffeeshop and work my ass off (except now I guess; I’m on a quick break :P). Unless absolutely necessary (client fires) I don’t check email, IRC or SMS. I think what helps too is the routine includes something to improve my health, so I don’t feel guilty if I work for an extended period (in my case a heavy lifting session to offset whatever punishment I’m going to put myself through with bad posture afterwards). Maybe try to do something that will get you sweating before you’re getting ready for a coding marathon.
