I'm horrible at this as well. But I think I found a good way. I have a timer on my blackberry that I set for 15 mins. It vibrates on the 5 min and 1 min and end marks. I focus exclusively on a task for 15 mins. Then at the end I reset it again, or move on to the next project.

For me it's 45-60 minutes, but longer pauses afterwards (15-30 minutes). I only started doing this recently, but so far with good results. The other thing that helps me since a long time is having a todo-list in which the top-task really always describes exactly what I'm working at now. Even if that task is only "figure out what to do next".
