One way to avoid ADD creeping in is to outline a number of things you want to do within a specific hour (this could be 2 or more tasks or 1 task broken down into sub-tasks) then assign chunks of time to each.

So here is an example for producing a new website:

1. Look for points of reference in the wine review niche using google – 20 minutes

2. Mindmap initial ideas for site: 25 minutes

3. Create project desciprition for design team: 10 minutes

4. Email project description to design team: 5 minutes

I think after chunks of 1 hour it’s imperative to reward yourself with at least a walk about some water and perhaps something to eat.

I can work solidly during the week but on saturday’s I rest. So I save up rewards for Saturday …

I think 1/2 hour is all you can do before ADD starts to kick in an productivity lags. The question is how many of these 1/2 focuses productive time periods can anyone do in a day and what do you reward yourself after with.
