I really like pomodoro timers. I usually use just a simple timer app and set it up myself, but there are some great apps to automatically switch between the times. Basically you focus on your work for 25 minutes and then take a 5 minute break. Do this two times and then make your break 10 minutes. Then back to 5. It really helps me focus seeing the timer and thinking "hey, I can survive anything for just 25 minutes!"
And also blocking out exact times throughout the day. Like I'll put it in a diary that from 6:00 to 7:30 I'll work on one project, 7:30 to 8:00 breakfast, 8:00 to 9:30 a different project, etc.That usually helps me stay focused and keep the bigger picture of my productivity in mind instead of just wasting time trying to work on one project all day and getting burnt out.
