Having interesting work is definitely a plus when you're excited about completing something time usually flies by. The Pomodoro technique might be something for you to try. Basically choose a goal/task work only on that for 25 minutes then take a 5 minute break (play a round of a game you like, browse the news, etc) the get back on your task or move to the next task if you complete the first one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique Sometimes when I'm in a groove I just keep going, but if it's a boring tedious task it's nice to break for 5 minutes. There is a cool OSX app that shows a countdown at the top bar and that's good incentive to keep at it and try to knock out tasks in 25 minutes. Soon you'll be estimating in pomadoros (30 mins). Good luck staying focused.
